Residents of this Beirut neighbourhood felt safe. Then Israel attacked it.
AI Summary
Residents of Beirut's Aicha Bakkar neighbourhood reported feeling safe until an Israeli air strike hit their area on March 11, injuring four people and causing significant damage to a residential building. Mohammad al-Ahmad, who lives in the building next door, described hearing two explosions and finding his apartment covered in glass and concrete debris. The attack occurred after Hezbollah responded to the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on March 2. Israel intensified its attacks on Lebanon following the Hezbollah response, despite a ceasefire having been in effect since November 2024. The strike targeted a building used by the Jama’a Islamiye group, which denied any involvement. Israeli forces have pushed further into Lebanese territory, engaging Hezbollah in battle in several southern villages.
