Israel widens Lebanon strikes as it weighs Iran retaliation
Jerusalem | Massive consecutive strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs from late Saturday into Sunday, Reuters eyewitnesses said, sending booms across the city and sparking flashes of red and white for nearly 30 minutes visible from several kilometres away.
The strikes came after days of bombing by Israel of Beirut suburbs considered strongholds for Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah, killing its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and possibly his potential successor.
