Israel's Netanyahu orders attacks in Beirut
The highways around Lebanon’s capital city of Beirut are heavily crowded today after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered major attacks against Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahiyeh.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz cited the continued Hezbollah resistance in southern Lebanon as the reason Beirut would be attacked, saying if there is no calm in northern Israel, there will be no calm in Beirut.
While much focus is being paid to the impending attacks on Beirut, Israel continues to pound southern Lebanon as well, having killed at least 12 people in strikes around the region so far on Monday, and wounded several others, including at least one paramedic.
