Israel targets Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV, Iran’s state broadcaster in overnight strikes
LONDON: An Israeli strike hit the south Beirut office of Al-Manar TV, which is affiliated with Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, the broadcaster said on Tuesday.
Israel “targets the Al-Manar Channel building in the Haret Hreik area,” Al-Manar wrote on Telegram, referring to a part of south Beirut, following evacuation orders.
The strike came as Iran’s state broadcaster reported two explosions near its Tehran headquarters on Tuesday, but said it was continuing to broadcast amid the ongoing Israeli-US strike campaign.
“Smoke from two explosions around IRIB’s premises / No disruption to IRIB’s operations,” the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting wrote on Telegram.
