🩸 Israel Pounds Beirut's Southern Suburbs after US Truce Push Before Elections

The IDF carpet bombed southern Beirut with a series of powerful airstrikes early on Friday morning after issuing evacuation orders to residents - the first such strikes in days targeting the dense urban area.

Footage from the aftermath of the strikes appear to show dozens of buildings obliterated.
