ai generated text

The Israeli military launched a series of airstrikes on southern Beirut, targeting a building allegedly used by Hezbollah to store precision missiles. The airstrikes marked a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating that the strikes demonstrated that areas of Beirut would not serve as a "sanctuary city" for Hezbollah.

    1. Under the direction of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Katz, the IDF strongly attacked an infrastructure where Hezbollah precision missiles were stored in Beirut, which posed a significant threat to the State of Israel.
    1. An urgent warning for those in the southern suburbs of Beirut, especially in the Hadath neighbourhood: Anyone present in the building marked in red on the attached map as well as the surrounding buildings, is near Hezbollah facilities.
    1. Israel will not allow Hezbollah to grow stronger and pose any threat to it – anywhere in Lebanon.
    1. The ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity are unacceptable under any pretext.
    1. Today's strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut generated panic and fear of renewed violence among those desperate for a return to normalcy.
    1. This is not the first time that Beirut's southern suburb has been hit since Israel and Hezbollah agreed to that ceasefire back in November, but this time, there was no rocket fire. So people here are concerned that Israel is rewriting the rules of engagement, saying that there are no red lines any longer and that this could be the beginning of an escalation.
