Israeli fighter jets destroyed branches of banks in Beirut accused of funding Hezbollah in a further widening of its bombing campaign.

Air strikes hit buildings housing branches of the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, with Israel saying that it had hit “dozens” of targets.

The financial institution “directly funds Hezbollah’s terror activities, including the purchase of weapons and payments to operatives in Hezbollah’s military wing,” the Israeli military said.

Buildings at several sites in Beirut, as well as the Bekaa Valley to the east, were reduced to rubble.

Footage from the scene of the impacts showed what appeared to be financial documents scattered across the ground.
