Israel has launched fresh airstrikes on Beirut overnight, with a series of loud blasts and huge plumes of smoke reported in the south of the capital in the early hours of Saturday. The Israeli military had earlier demanded the evacuation parts of Beirut’s southern suburbs.
\n The attacks, part of a wider assault that has driven more than 1.2 million Lebanese from their homes, followed intense bombardment on Thursday night that reportedly targeted Hashem Safieddine, the most likely candidate to replace Hassan Nasrallah as leader of Hezbollah. His fate remains unclear.
