Fires ongoing in Beirut neighbourhood of Dahiyeh following new Israeli airstrikes

Further strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs early Saturday, AFP images showed, while Hezbollah's Al-Manar television reported Israeli strikes in a number of areas in the group's bastion.

Iran's Foreign Minister has told the UN Security Council that the devastating airstrike on southern Beirut Friday evening was carried out using a US-made "Bunker Buster". The Israeli army has in its arsenal 2,000 kilogram American-made “Bunker Buster” guided bombs designed specifically for hitting subterranean targets.

“The Israeli regime used several 5,000-pound bunker busters that had been gifted to them by the United States to hit residential areas in Beirut,” said Assad Araghchi. “Israel’s warmongering relies on US military support and political backing… therefore, the United States is implicated in every aspect of Israel’s atrocity."
