Israeli bombing caused large explosions in Beirut, including one close to the international airport during a further night of air strikes targeting Hezbollah.
The airport borders Dahieh, Hezbollah’s stronghold in the capital. Plumes of smoke could be seen over the city on Friday morning.
The IDF said more than 230 projectiles had been launched into Israeli territory over the course of the day. Most were intercepted or fell in open areas, and there were no casualty reports.
The communities sitting along Israel’s northern border fence are now a closed military zone.
