1 killed, 1 injured in Israeli airstrike in Jnah area in Lebanese capital: media

BEIRUT, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) — An Israeli airstrike targeted on Wednesday night an apartment in Beirut’s Jnah district, which the local Al-Mayadeen TV said was used as an office by its reporter.
“We hold the Israeli enemy fully responsible for targeting the office of a well-known journalist working for a renowned media channel,” Al-Mayadeen said, adding that it already vacated its office in Beirut last month.
Meanwhile, the local al-Jadeed TV channel reported that one individual was killed and another injured in the airstrike, without specifying their identities.
Israeli forces also renewed on Wednesday night their airstrikes on Dahieh, Beirut’s southern suburbs, after issuing warnings that it would attack several sites there.
Since Sept. 23, the Israeli army has been launching intensive airstrikes on Lebanon in a dangerous escalation with Hezbollah. In early October, Israel also launched a ground operation near the southern Lebanese border. ■
