Israeli Broadcasting Authority: Beirut Airstrikes Halted Under “Political” Directives

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority confirmed, last night, that the Israeli army has not launched any attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, for three days. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority explained, in its evening news bulletin, that "the army did not carry out any attack on Beirut based on the directives of the political level." On the other hand, Israeli media reported: "US President Joe Biden asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to limit the strikes in the Lebanese capital when the two spoke last week." On Saturday evening, the Israeli warplanes carried out a raid targeting the center of the commercial market in the city of Nabatieh, the largest city in southern Lebanon, and the center of its economic activity, which resulted in eight people being injured in an initial toll, while the Israeli army did not announce the nature of the target.
