3 killed, 6 injured in Israeli airstrikes on Beirut airport road

Three people were killed and six others injured Wednesday in two Israeli airstrikes targeting vehicles on the road leading to Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that an Israeli drone struck a vehicle on the airport highway before another car was targeted minutes later in the same area.

The Israeli army claimed that two Hezbollah members were targeted in the Beirut area but did not provide further details.

Israel’s Channel 12 also reported that the intended target was Hezbollah’s official responsible for “fire management,” though the person’s identity was not disclosed.

Meanwhile, Lebanese media said that Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike on the city of Choueifat south of Beirut.
