Ο στρατός του Ισραήλ ξεκίνησε επιθέσεις κατά στόχων της Χεζμπολάχ σε ολόκληρο τον Λίβανο τα ξημερώματα της Δευτέρας, μετά την εκτόξευση αρκετών πυραύλων από τη φιλοϊρανική οργάνωση στο βόρειο Ισραήλ νωρίτερα απόψε. Η οργάνωση δήλωσε ότι εξαπέλυσε τα πλήγματα σε αντίποινα για τη δολοφονία του ανώτατου ηγέτη του Ιράν, Αγιατολάχ Αλί Χαμενεΐ. Strikes by the Israeli Air Force have targeted a number of high-rise residential buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut. pic.twitter.com/Vslf4Fr9KQ — O...
