A plume of smoke could be seen rising from Beirut’s southern suburbs Wednesday morning near the country’s main airport, video from Reuters news agency shows.

The Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport is operational, but most international flights have been canceled, the airport’s arrivals board shows. One flight from Lebanon’s main carrier Middle East Airlines (MEA) landed at 8:25 a.m. local time, according to the airport’s website.CNN reported.

The Israeli military previously issued an “urgent warning” for residents to evacuate in the city’s southern suburbs, particularly the Haret Hreik neighborhood.

MEA pilots have continued to fly from Beirut, even during the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in 2024.
