BLITZ ON BEIRUT

IRAN cancelled all flights last night amid fears of a revenge missile blitz by Israel.

It came after Beirut suffered its worst night of intensive bombing during Israel's onslaught against Hezbollah, with at least 30 blasts rocking the Lebanese capital on Saturday.

Last night, Israel's war chiefs were finalising plans for the blitz on Iran after an Israeli strike on a mosque in Gaza killed at least 19.

It came as hundreds of Britons were due to join a last mercy flight out of Lebanon, leaving as many as 2,000 UK nationals.

The Iran flights were cancelled from 9pm last night until 6am today due to operational restrictions, state media cited an Iranian spokesman as saying. The restrictions were later lifted after safe conditions were ensured, according to state media reports.

Iran also implemented restrictions on flights last Tuesday when it launched missiles at Israel, which will today mark the first anniversary of the deadly Hamas attack on October 7.

The Middle East is bracing for a possible major escalation when Israel launches its revenge strikes on Iran, possibly on nuclear sites, gas installations and military targets.

A fireball lit up southern Beirut's skyline overnight on Saturday with targets including a petrol station on a main road leading to the airport and a medical supplies warehouse.

STRIKES

A building formerly used by the Hezbollahrun broadcaster Al-Manar was also hit.
