Updates: Heavy Strikes In Beirut, Iran Tells UN Biden Has Signaled U.S. Approval Of Israel's Imminent Attack - Will Bear Responsibility


Heavy strikes in Beirut after IDF orders public to evacuate from several Hezbollah sites



Several loud explosions are reported in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.

The apparent Israeli strikes come after the IDF called on residents of several buildings to evacuate.

“You are located near facilities and interests belonging to Hezbollah, which the Israeli army will target in the near future,” Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee says in a post on X.

Earlier the IDF said it would continue striking Hezbollah targets with a focus on their financial infrastructure.

Hospital in Beirut suburbs evacuated after Israel claims Hezbollah cash bunker below

The Lebanese Sahel Hospital in Beirut’s southern suburbs is being evacuated following Israeli claims a Hezbollah cash bunker is located beneath it, hospital director Fadi Alameh tells Reuters.

Alameh denied the allegation and called on the Lebanese army to visit the site.

The IDF has said it would not strike the site, but provided the Lebanese people with details on where the entrances to the bunker are.

Listen to IDF Spox. RAdm. Daniel Hagari as he exposes Hezbollah’s finance hub hidden underneath a hospital:

“Tonight, I am going to declassify intelligence on a site that we did not strike—where Hezbollah has millions of dollars in gold and cash—in Hassan Nasrallah’s bunker. Where is the bunker located? Directly under Al-Sahel Hospital in the heart of Beirut.”

Tehran tells UN: Biden has signaled US approval for attack on Iran, will bear responsibility

US President Joe Biden has signaled “tacit approval and explicit support for Israel’s unlawful military aggression against Iran,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations says, citing remarks by Biden in Germany last week.

“The United States will bear full responsibility for its role in instigating, inciting and enabling any acts of aggression by Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran … as well as for the catastrophic consequences on regional and international peace and security,” Iran’s UN mission says in a letter to the UN Security Council.

Biden, on a visit to Berlin, also told reporters he has an understanding of how and when Israel will respond to the missile attacks by Iran. He declined to elaborate.

At least three people have been killed and tens of others injured following an Israeli strike on a Beirut neighborhood near the capital’s main government hospital, a senior Lebanese security source tells Reuters.
