US embassy in Lebanon was subjected to an attack, the first of its kind in decades.
Lebanese media sources reported that gunmen opened fire on the embassy headquarters in Beirut and clashed with its guards.
This is the first attack of its kind in the history of the contemporary American presence in Lebanon.
The attack came at a time when Lebanon’s northern front is witnessing escalating tension in light of reports of British warnings of a possible large-scale Israeli attack in the middle of this month, amid an unprecedented escalation of Palestinian resistance operations deep within the Israeli occupation.
The operation of targeting the embassy indicates a new development in the context of the confrontation between Lebanon and the allies of the Israeli occupation, who are trying to pressure to stop supporting Gaza.
