In the Burj al-Barajneh region, it was noted that a very intense attack was carried out behind the Ali Nasser High School.

THEY HIT THE CHURCH

Father Jean Baroudi of the Our Lady of Salvation Church, the first church in Beirut to be damaged by Israeli attacks, told an AA reporter, "As a result of Israel's attack targeting a nearby building, the church's three large glass facades were shattered."

ARMY SPOKESPERSON HAD SIGNALED THE ATTACK

Israeli Army Spokesperson Avichay Adraee had issued an attack threat on his X account prior to the strikes by sharing maps marking certain points in the Hadath, Chiyah, Burj al-Barajneh, and Haret Hreik regions.

Adraee claimed that the marked areas on the maps in question were Hezbollah facilities and warned people to move at least 500 meters away from these areas.

In a statement made by the Israeli army yesterday, it was claimed that 50 airstrikes had been carried out on the southern suburbs of Beirut in the last week.
