Israel carried out another series of punishing airstrikes Friday, hitting suburban Beirut and cutting off the main border crossing between Lebanon and Syria for tens of thousands of people fleeing the Israeli bombardment of the Hezbollah militant group.The overnight blasts in Beirut’s southern suburbs sent huge plumes of smoke and flames into the night sky and shook buildings kilometres (miles) away in the Lebanese capital. Additional strikes sent people running for cover in streets littered with rubble in the Dahiyeh neighborhood, where at least one building was leveled and cars were burned out. #israel #hezbollah #iran #indiatoday #israellebanonconflict #israelhamaswar #israelnews #lebanonnews #beirut #tehran #israelvsiran #israelvshezbollah #iranmissileattack #iranisraelwar #hezbollah #benjaminnetanyahu #nasrallah #ayatollahkhamenei #khamenei #westasia #middleeastconflict #livenow
