Tensions rise in Beirut as Israeli military targets ‘Hezbollah’s financial institution’
Israel has started striking what it calls “Hezbollah’s financial arm”.
There were explosions in Beirut’s southern suburb overnight – including near Lebanon’s only international airport.
Israel accuses the financial services group “al-Qard al-Hassan” of providing money for Hezbollah and says it will now be targeted all over Lebanon.
The Bekka Valley branch of al-Qard al-Hassan in East Lebanon was among the buildings hit.
The financial institution has 31 branches across the country.
15 are in densely populated parts of central Beirut and its suburbs.
People have been leaving areas near its branches.

Al Jazeera, a news agency for terrorists by terrorists
A bank not controlled by cental bank of state ❓️ what a cruel joke .
The terrorists are defeated. They can't win. Impossible.
Cowards hide amongst children. Real men admit when the lost and just surrender
These Islamic nuts have their brains in the wrong place. Why start a war you cannot win. Qatar should have known better than support Hamas financially.
Dont you people study Newton's law?
What a excuse that Israel made
It’s a joke another way to carry on genocide
It's easy to start …but it's hard to end this war… lesson…. don't start fighting if you can't defend yourself…

Talmud Kethubot 11b: “If a Grown man has intercourse with a little girl, it is nothing. Having intercourse with a girl less than 3 years old is like putting a finger in the eye. It sheds a few tears but soon heals again”
Happy birthday, Prime Minister Netanyahu! 🥳🥳🥳
I heard the warning, Netanyahu said if Hezbollah keep firing missiles, Israel will turn Lebanon in to stone age.
Lebanese are nomads who need to live in tents with no AC. They have nothing to do with concrete.
