Snippet:
Lebanon has been hit by new Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, where several buildings were destroyed overnight, Lebanese state media reports. Thick smoke rose over the area as firefighters battled blazes and residents cleared debris from damaged streets. Emergency crews deployed at dawn to search the sites; no immediate casualties were reported, but destruction spanned multiple neighborhoods, with additional strikes south of the capital straining local services.
