Explosion Hits Beirut's Southern Suburbs, Casualties Reported

Shooting and blast reported at concert hall near Moscow

Reports indicate that another significant explosion has rocked the Lebanese capital of Beirut, emanating from the city's southern suburbs. This incident comes in the wake of recent strikes carried out by Israel in the area.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that they executed a 'precise' strike in the southern Dahiyeh neighborhood. Further details regarding the nature of the strike are expected to be disclosed by the IDF in due course.

Hezbollah, a prominent militant group, has claimed that one of its leaders, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli attack in the same vicinity on Friday. Israel has continued its bombardment of southern Beirut, alleging that the targets are buildings used by Hezbollah to store weapons.

The southern suburbs of Beirut are known for their high population density. The Lebanese health ministry has reported that at least six individuals lost their lives in the strikes that resulted in Nasrallah's death, with several others sustaining injuries.

The situation remains tense in Beirut as the aftermath of these events unfolds. The international community is closely monitoring the developments in the region, with concerns growing over the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
