Lebanon state media reported 17 Israeli raids on Beirut’s southern suburbs, with six buildings levelled and the vacated offices of a pro-Iran broadcaster hit, as the Iran-Hezbollah war reached its one-month mark.

AFPTV footage showed a massive explosion followed by smaller blasts in the embattled southern suburbs after the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning for the area, where Hezbollah holds sway.

The official National News Agency (NNA) reported at least 17 Israeli raids, marking one of the most violent nights in the area since the Israel-Hezbollah war erupted on September 23.

Six buildings were destroyed around the suburb of Laylaki, NNA said, calling the raids “the most violent in the area since the beginning of the war”.

Broadcaster Al-Mayadeen said an Israeli strike targeted an office it had vacated there, adding that it holds the Israeli army “responsible”.

NNA said the Al-Mayadeen office was located in an apartment in a residential building in Jnah.

The office was hit by two rockets and “completely destroyed” in the strike, which sparked a blaze inside, NNA added.

Al-Mayadeen’s office is located near the former premises of the Iranian embassy in Beirut and close to a Lebanese army checkpoint.
