The Lebanese Army defused five unexploded Israeli aerial bombs in the Haret Hreik area of Beirut's southern suburbs [1].
The operation removes immediate lethal threats from residential zones, preventing potential casualties among civilians living in the densely populated southern suburbs of the capital.
Bomb disposal units from the Lebanese Army carried out the operation on July 7, 2024 [1]. The military identified the ordnance as remnants of Israeli aggression, which had failed to detonate upon impact [1].
According to reports, the units worked to secure the Haret Hreik district to ensure the safety of local residents [1]. The removal of these five bombs [1] is part of a broader effort by the military to clear unexploded ordnance from various regions across southern Lebanon.
Military personnel focused on the stabilization and removal of the aerial bombs to mitigate the risk of accidental detonation [1]. The army said the operation was necessary to protect citizens from the dangers posed by these military remnants [1].
