BEIRUT, November 12. /TASS/. After a brief pause Israeli Air Force fighter jets have resumed attacks on facilities of the Shiite organization Hezbollah on the southern outskirts of the Lebanese capital.
According to a TASS correspondent, the airstrikes are being carried out during daylight hours for the first time this month.
A source in the civil defense service told TASS by telephone that Israeli planes attacked 11 times in a row the neighborhoods of Ghobeiry, Laylaki, Haret Hreik and Hadath suburb. Several deafening explosions were heard, he said, indicating the use of powerful munitions by the Israeli air force.
"There have been reports of destroyed buildings on Jisr Hadi, Sfeir and Jamous streets, as well as near the Al-Zahraa center," the source said. "There are no casualties, as most of the residents had left these neighborhoods in early October after Israel began regular bombing raids against the southern suburbs of Beirut."
On November 8, the Israeli Air Force attacked the southern outskirts of Beirut 13 times. The raids were carried out on the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik and Al-Mreije. Several strong explosions were heard near the university campus located between Hadath and Choueifat suburbs. On November 7, the airstrikes targeted the neighborhoods of Laylaki, Tahwitat al-Ghadir and Haret Hreik, as well as the suburb of Uzai, near Rafiq Hariri International Airport.
