The strikes, which occurred overnight, targeted various locations across Beirut, including a strike in the city center. The aftermath of these attacks has left a devastating impact on the affected communities, with many families now mourning the loss of their loved ones and numerous individuals grappling with injuries.
The Lebanese health ministry has been actively involved in responding to the crisis, coordinating emergency medical services and providing urgent care to those injured in the strikes.
