For the past 48 hours, Israel’s relentless strikes on Beirut and the mainly southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital have been non-stop. A few minutes ago Israeli fighters struck and destroyed an apartment building in Sidon. Social media videos are indicative of the intensity of the strikes which did not only target Hezbollah’s underground facilities.

The IDF had sent a message several minutes before the strike to residents of both the building in question and adjacent buildings and the entire block was evacuated, according to Arab media reports.

Earlier in a press conference held by a Hezbollah spokesman from Beirut, he noted that the Shiite organization takes full responsibility for the recent drone attack on the Prime Minister’s residence.
