The Israeli military has struck the Al-Qard al-Hasan financial institution in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, after issuing a statement announcing that it would target the branches of the Hezbollah-affiliated charity.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported strikes on Monday on the Al-Qard al-Hasan building in the Bir al-Abed area, in the southern neighbourhood of Haret Hreik, and on another branch along the road to Beirut’s international airport.
