Israeli aggression targets residential bldg in Beirut Southern Suburb

At least one civilian, a woman, was killed and sixty-eight others were
wounded in an Israeli aggression on Haret Hreik, in the Southern Suburb of
Beirut

the Lebanese Health Ministry reported.

Among the injured, five are in critical condition, while the rest of the
injuries range between moderate and minor, the Ministry added.

An Israeli strike targeted a residential building in the Southern Suburb of
Beirut on Tuesday evening, destroying a substantial section of the
structure.

The strike comes after continuous threats by Israeli occupation officials
of a substantial aggression on Lebanon, since Saturday.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the strike targeted the Southern
Suburb of Beirut, where at least one explosion was heard.

In detail, our correspondent said that the strike targeted a residential
building in Haret Hreik, resulting in the collapse of a substantial section
of the structure.

"Israel" has been threatening a strike against Lebanon after falsely
accusing the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah of launching an
attack on the Israeli-occupied Syrian town of Majdal Shams.

Following the strike, the United Nations said the United Nations Interim
Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL) leadership and the UN coordinator are conducting
talks to prevent a war between Hezbollah and "Israel".
