Highway to hell - Deadly explosion shakes airport road as Israeli strikes hit Beirut

"Footage filmed late Wednesday night into early Thursday shows the moment the airport road area in Beirut,was struck amid ongoing clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. The video shows a blast lighting up the night sky, followed by flames breaking out between nearby buildings on the roadside and thick smoke rising over the area. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said three people were killed and six others injured in the strike. The Israeli military said it had targeted a Hezbollah member in the Beirut area. The escalation in Lebanon comes after Hezbollah announced it had entered the conflict 'in retaliation' for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, declaring a series of operations against Israel. Israeli forces have since responded with strikes on several villages in southern Lebanon and additional air raids on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The developments come after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Saturday morning, while Tehran said it was responding with strikes against Israel and US interests in the region, with explosions reported in several Gulf countries."
