The Reconstruction Committee in Beirut has released preliminary statistics detailing the damage caused by Thursday’s Israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of the capital. The figures reveal widespread destruction across multiple neighborhoods, with residential buildings, institutions, and private property bearing the weight of the attack.
According to the committee’s early assessment, a total of nine buildings were completely destroyed, while 71 others sustained varying degrees of damage. The attacks also impacted 177 institutions and 50 vehicles, underlining the broad scope of the material losses.
The hardest-hit areas include Al-Ruwais, Saint Thérèse, Al-Kafa’at, and Al-Qaim. Each of these neighborhoods reported significant destruction to both infrastructure and housing units. In Al-Ruwais, two buildings were leveled and over a hundred residential units were affected. Saint Thérèse saw damage to more than 30 buildings, with over 300 housing units partially or completely destroyed. Al-Kafa’at reported the destruction of three buildings and severe damage to more than 190 residential units. Among them was the Al-Kafaat Foundation, a development and nonprofit organization that provides rehabilitation and education to the Lebanese people. In Al-Qaim, two buildings were flattened and over 330 units were damaged.
