Lebanon’s Beirut Airport could be ‘on the list of targets’ for an Israeli strike

Lebanon’s main airport, the Beirut Rafik Hariri International Airport could be the next target for an Israeli air strike, says former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus. At least 492 people have been killed after Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon in what is being called the deadliest day in the country since 2006. Around 1,300 targets have been struck, with Israel accusing them of housing Hezbollah weapons. “It’s a very important asset for Hezbollah, Hezbollah transports weapons and personnel through that airport,” Mr Conricus told Sky News Australia. “I’m sure it’s on the list of targets that may be struck in the future. “But it’s definitely not something Israel will do lightly.”
