Beirut: Israeli warplanes broke the sound barrier three times in the Lebanese capital, causing panic.
Israeli warplanes breached the sound barrier three times in less than 30 minutes in Beirut, resulting in loud explosions, causing panic among civilians, sending people out of their homes in several residential areas.
Last night, Israeli Air Force jets flew very low over the Lebanese capital, with witnesses saying they could easily see the planes, the loudest explosions heard in Beirut in years.
A reporter from a foreign news agency reported that people in a cafe in Badro district of Beirut caused a stampede due to the loud explosions, which caused some minor injuries.
It should be noted that this incident occurred at a time when Hezbollah chief Seyed Hassan Nasrallah was about to start a speech at 5:00 p.m., a week after the death of the top military commander of the Lebanese armed group, Fouad Shukar, in an Israeli attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
