Shocking Footage: IDF Airstrike Beirut Airport While Passenger Plane Taxiing - Escalation in Lebanon
In this exclusive footage, an Israeli airstrike hits the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, near the city’s international airport.
The dramatic video shows a plume of smoke rising into the air as a passenger plane is seen taxiing on the runway in the background.
Just before the strike, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued a warning to residents in the area, urging them to evacuate due to the proximity of Hezbollah facilities.
This video captures the growing tension in the region as Israel intensifies its military operations against Hezbollah.
Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters took to Lebanon’s streets in a massive show of force, unleashing a roaring sea of vehicles that stretched for miles. Horns blared, flags waved, and convoys snaked through Beirut and beyond, protesting the government’s US-backed plan to Strip the group of its weapons. The demonstration — dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists — sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.

In a chilling accusation, the Director of Al-Shifa Hospital claims that Israel is preparing a major massacre in Gaza and has begun by targeting journalists to silence the truth. Al Jazeera reporters Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqea, along with three cameramen, were killed in a strike near the hospital. Al Jazeera has called it a "targeted assassination" and a direct attack on press freedom. The IDF claims the journalists were affiliated with Hamas but has provided no credible evidence. With international outrage growing and journalists under fire, is this the beginning of a blackout before a bloodbath?

Hamas has condemned what it calls a “targeted assassination” of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, after an Israeli strike hit a tent for reporters outside Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital. Among the dead is veteran correspondent Anas al-Sharif, along with journalist Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and assistant photojournalist Mohammed Noufal. Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately attacking the press, calling it another blatant assault on press freedom.
The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed outrage, demanding accountability. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed targeting Sharif, alleging he led a Hamas terrorist cell. The killings have sparked global condemnation, with media rights groups warning that attacks on journalists are eroding international protections for the press in conflict zones. Hamas vowed to honor the “martyrs” and accused Israel of silencing voices that document its actions in Gaza. The incident further escalates tensions amid the ongoing war.

Nasser Al-Laham, the prominent head of Al Mayadeen TV’s Palestine bureau, has been arrested by Israeli forces following a violent pre-dawn raid on his home. According to reports by Al Mayadeen, Shin Bet officers stormed the house and destroyed belongings while searching for the studio from where Al-Laham appeared on-air.
The arrest comes amid increasing crackdowns on pro-resistance media voices in the occupied territories. Al-Laham was transferred to the notorious Ofer Court in the occupied West Bank, where his detention was extended until Thursday. The operation has triggered outrage among journalists, human rights groups, and regional media networks, who condemn the targeting of press freedom. Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based channel often critical of Israel and aligned with the Resistance Axis, has described the arrest as an attempt to silence Palestinian voices. This development adds further tension to an already volatile West Bank, where media suppression is becoming increasingly common.

Yemen’s Houthi Armed Forces claim responsibility for four major drone strikes targeting Israeli sites in Haifa, the Negev, Eilat, and Beersheba. Spokesman Yahya Saree says the attacks were carried out in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and warns that more operations will follow until the siege is lifted and Israeli aggression ends. Israeli military reports shooting down one drone near Eilat, but the fate of the other five remains unclear.
