Israel’s bombing campaign in the Dahiya area south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, has complicated U.S. diplomacy to stop the Israel-Hezbollah war.

Fresh Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs late Friday following a heavy bombardment in the morning. A dpa reporter said there were at least three explosions and that black smoke rose over the Ghobeiry area.

All of the targets that were attacked by the Israeli forces under the direction of the Intelligence Division, fighter jets, were deliberately placed by Hezbollah in the heart of the civilian population.
