The Israeli army committed a massacre in the heart of Beirut early on 12 March, targeting a group of displaced Lebanese civilians with a drone and killing eight in the Ramlet al-Bayda beach area.

A drone fired three missiles near the promenade where people walk along, and where scores of families displaced from various parts of the country have set up tents.

At least eight people were killed, and 31 were wounded by the attack, which coincided with two deadly airstrikes on the Aramoun area on the outskirts of Beirut, and several other attacks on Beirut’s southern suburb that were heard across the city.
