Images from the Dahieh district in Beirut show widespread destruction around the bombing site, Israeli media report. The scale of damage underscores the intensity of the strike.
New images from the Dahieh district in Beirut, circulated by Israeli media outlets shortly after 13:31, show extensive destruction around the strike site — cratered roads, collapsed building facades, and debris across several blocks. The footage, first posted by Iranian journalist Ghanem Ibrahim and reshared by Israeli news channels, depicts damage that underscores the intensity of the blast. The full blast radius and the specific building targeted remain unconfirmed.
The thread of events began at 13:31 Jerusalem, when reports first emerged of loud explosions in the southern Dahieh district, a Hezbollah stronghold. Within minutes, channel Abu Ali Express identified the target as a structure hit by two missiles. The IDF confirmed it had struck a Hezbollah command headquarters. Footage from the scene, initially limited to a burning building, has since expanded to show wider neighborhood damage across multiple versions published at 13:31.
The strike comes amid heightened regional tensions. As The Zioneer previously reported, US-Iran negotiations collapsed earlier this week, with Tehran blaming Israeli operations in Lebanon. Israeli officials have also voiced concerns over an emerging US-Iran framework, warning it could restrict Israel's ability to act against Hezbollah.
No casualty figures have been released. The extent of structural damage to the targeted headquarters and any secondary impacts remain unverified.
