The attacks occurred 200 meters away from the closely guarded Hezbollah-run hospital, which according to Lebanon’s health minister could not cope with the influx of wounded.
The blasts occurred almost simultaneously and struck the community’s center and a nearby bakery in the commercial and residential area of Borj al Barajneh, security sources told Reuters news agency.
Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk said a third suicide bomber had been killed by one of the explosions.
The blasts, which were also close to a closely guarded Hezbollah-run hospital, were the first attacks for more than a year in a stronghold of Iran-backed Hezbollah, which has sent fighters to Syria to fight alongside President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in the country’s civil war.
Medics rushed to treat the wounded after the explosions, which damaged shopfronts and left the street stained with blood and littered with broken glass.
The army set up checkpoints at all entrances to the southern suburbs and Hezbollah’s own security force was on high alert.

ReplyDeleteDeux attentats-suicides revendiqués par l'EI ont frappé jeudi le fief du mouvement chiite libanais Hezbollah à Beyrouth. L'attaque, qui a fait au moins 43 morts, est l'une des plus meurtrières depuis la fin de la guerre civile au Liban en 1990.
Le Liban observe, vendredi 13 novembre, une journée de deuil national au lendemain du double attentat ayant fait au moins 43 morts dans la banlieue sud de Beyrouth. Une attaque contre le fief du Hezbollah chiite que le groupe jihadiste sunnite État islamique (EI) a revendiquée.
