The night's attack is described as the strongest so far: "Squeezed the air out of my chest"
Last night's Israeli air attack on Beirut was described as one of the most powerful to date. A video published in, among others, Al Jazeera shows how a powerful explosion is followed by a huge fireball. According to the site, it is likely that the explosion was caused by so-called bunker busters - bombs designed to penetrate deep underground before detonating.
Late Thursday night, Axios reported, citing sources, that the target of Israel's strike was likely to be Hezbollah chief Hashem Safieddine, who has been earmarked as the successor to Hassan Nasrallah. The information has not yet been confirmed and it is unclear whether Safieddine is alive or dead.
Sveriges Radio's correspondent in Beirut, Johan Mathias Sommarström, tells the radio that the attack "squeezed the air out of my chest", caused buildings to collapse and car alarms to go off.

Escape route to Syria cut off in Israeli airstrike
A road used by hundreds of thousands of people fleeing Lebanon has been cut off by an Israeli airstrike. This is what Lebanon's Transport Minister Ali Hamieh told Reuters.
The attack took place on Friday morning near the Masnaa border crossing between Lebanon and Syria. According to Hamieh, the attack caused a four meter wide crater.
Israel's military, the IDF, believes that the Lebanese Iran-backed militia Hezbollah uses the road to transport weapons from Syria to Lebanon.
According to Lebanese government statistics, over 300,000 people, most of them Syrians, have crossed the Lebanon-Syria border in the past ten days to escape Israeli airstrikes.
