The Lebanese News Agency - NNA-leb also reported on Friday that the Zionist raids on Haret Hreik caused great destruction.

"The enemy aircraft carried out a series of violent raids on the southern suburb area, and thick clouds of smoke covered the sky of the area," added NNA-leb.

It quoted a close source to Hezbollah, saying that "the Secretary-General of the party, Hassan Nasrallah, is fine," after the media of the Zionist enemy reported that he was the target of the strikes on the southern suburb of Beirut.
