Flames erupt from a residential tower in Beirut after a suspected Israeli strike, sparking panic and concern in the Lebanese capital.
Chaos and panic gripped the Lebanese capital of Beirut as a residential building was engulfed in flames following an apparent Israeli aerial attack. The dramatic scene unfolded on Sunday, with witnesses reporting a massive explosion and thick plumes of black smoke billowing from the high-rise structure.
Eyewitnesses on the ground described hearing a loud blast before the building burst into flames, sending shockwaves through the surrounding neighborhood. Lebanese authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the incident, but Israeli military activity in the area has prompted speculation that the building was the target of an airstrike or missile strike.
The attack comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with the two countries engaging in a long-standing conflict over territorial disputes and Hezbollah's growing influence in the region.
