HUGE blasts have rocked Beirut for a second night with dramatic footage showing a gigantic explosion rising up above the city.
It comes as the Israeli city of Haifa was also struck by Hezbollah rockets that managed to sneak past the Iron Dome defence system.
Local media reports that six people have been injured on the eve of the October 7 terror attack anniversary.
Hezbollah has said in statement it targeted a military base near Haifa, which is located in northern Israel.
The IDF said in a post on X that its fighter jets had hit the intelligence headquarters of Hezbollah in the fresh strikes on Beirut.
They said: “In addition, warplanes have recently attacked the organisation’s munitions warehouses in the Beirut area.
“During the attacks, secondary explosions were seen, indicating the presence of weapons.
“The terrorist organisation Hezbollah places its headquarters and means of warfare under residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut and endangers the population in the area.”
It comes after Israel hit Beirut on Saturday leading to another massive set of blasts in the same suburb as where Hezbollah’s leader was recently killed.
Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an underground command post in Dahieh last week.
The IDF then pounded the suburb with 80 bombs over just several minutes in the late afternoon destroying the hideaway.
The bunker reached 50m underground and held a number of other senior members of the group.
