A Lebanese security source said Israeli strikes on Sunday landed near the country's only airport, as AFP footage showed large plumes of smoke rising close to the facility.
The security source, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, said two strikes landed near the airport, as Israel pounded nearby areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut after issuing several evacuation orders, according to Lebanese state media.
AFP footage showed large plumes of smoke rising close to the facility.
The strikes came after Israel said it had hit dozens of targets during air raids on Lebanon earlier Sunday, as Hezbollah claimed numerous rocket strikes over the border and clashes with Israeli ground troops.
