BEIRUT: Lebanon’s official National News Agency said an Israeli strike on Sunday evening hit a center of Islamist group Jamaa Islamiya in central Beirut, after AFP journalists heard the sound of explosions.
“Israeli warplanes launched a strike on the Mar Elias area of the capital Beirut,” the NNA said, adding that it “targeted a Jamaa Islamiya center,” referring to a Sunni Muslim group allied to Palestinian group Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
AFP journalists heard the sound of explosions and subsequent sirens amid a strong smell of burning, while AFPTV footage showed a blaze in the capital.
