Israeli strike on Beirut southern suburbs leaves buildings destroyed
Smoke was seen billowing from the rubble of a destroyed building Sunday morning (November 17) after an Israeli strike leveled a building to the ground in Beirut southern suburbs. People gathered at the scene of the strike and witnessed the damage and rubble that filled the streets. Israel launched its ground and air offensive against Hezbollah in late September after almost a year of cross-border hostilities in parallel with the Gaza war. It says it aims to secure the return home of tens of thousands of Israelis forced to evacuate from northern Israel under Hezbollah fire. Israel's campaign has dealt heavy blows to Hezbollah. It has also forced more than a million Lebanese to flee their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis. (Production: Heba Fouad)
