BEIRUT, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- At least 11 people were injured on Saturday afternoon in an Israeli airstrike on a building in Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs, said the Lebanese health ministry.

The airstrike targeted a shop selling motorbikes in a densely populated area near a shopping mall and several restaurants, local TV channel al-Jadeed reported.

Ambulances rushed to the area to transport casualties to the hospital, and Lebanese security forces arrived at the scene to investigate the attack.

Since Sept. 23, the Israeli army has been conducting an unprecedented, intensive air attack on Lebanon in a dangerous escalation with Hezbollah.

Since Oct. 8, 2023, Hezbollah and the Israeli army have been exchanging fire across the Lebanese-Israeli border amid fears of a broader conflict as the war between Hamas and Israel continues in the Gaza Strip. Enditem
