The Israeli Air Force has carried out strikes on targets near Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut, Lebanon. The attack took place just a few dozen meters from the runway, causing serious concern in the region given the dangerous proximity to civilian infrastructure.

Information about the reasons for the strike has not yet been reported, but experts note that Israel has repeatedly stated its readiness to strike potential threats from Lebanese and Iranian groups whose activities in Lebanon are perceived as a threat to Israel's security. Earlier, the Israeli military warned that it would track and prevent the supply of weapons and military equipment that could be used against Israel.

Local media reported that the attack led to a sharp increase in anxiety among residents of the capital, especially in areas surrounding the airport.
