Beirut

Footage from Tehran has shown what seem to be specific buildings hit, similar to images from Israel's attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut, which culminated in the killing of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Authorities in the US claim Ahmad, 60, who has a vast art collection worth millions of pounds, opened an art gallery in his home city Beirut as a front to launder money.

Israel has carried out several air strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, saying it was targeting Hezbollah's drone production.

“My Armenian side wasn’t really present because they were in Lebanon and Beirut, and Armenians are scattered all over different countries because of the genocide,” he said, referring to the Armenian genocide of 1915.

The attack marks the first time in almost a month that Israel has struck Beirut's southern suburbs - called Dahieh - where Hezbollah is based.
