Ground Report: Smoky skies, deserted streets as Israeli strikes pound Beirut

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intensified its airstrikes in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, which is considered a stronghold of the Hezbollah.

India Today TV's Ashraf Wani shows an area in south Beirut, where Israel carried out airstrikes. Smokes can be seen coming out of buildings hit by the missiles. A road in the region also was almost deserted following the strikes.

Meanwhile, Israel continued its attacks against Hezbollah, targeting command centres, weapons caches, tunnels, among others. Explosions rocked southern Beirut and surrounding areas for over two hours on Saturday, in what has been described as one of the most violent barrages so far.
