Lebanon: Explosions in Christian Communities North of Beirut (video)

A series of explosions shook areas north of Beirut, which had so far been spared from Israeli strikes, according to residents and local media. The explosions caused panic in the Christian communities of the towns of Sahel Alma and Jounieh, with several injuries. According to the army, the explosions may have been caused by the interception of an Iranian missile, without clarifying its target. Residents reported hearing explosions and seeing black smoke rising from various points. Videos circulating on social media show damage to buildings, with broken windows and holes in the walls. The explosions occurred in areas mainly inhabited by Christians, raising concerns about further escalation of the conflict. The situation remains fluid and authorities are investigating the cause of the explosions.
