Eid al-Fitr implications
Eid al-Fitr will come heavy on Lebanon this year amid an Israeli war ongoing for 18 days, and amid a massive displacement of more than a million people on Lebanese soil.
And the Israeli aircraft, flying at a low altitude, broke the sound barrier over the sky of the Lebanese capital on Friday, producing a huge roar in two bursts, which sparked fear among residents.

A loud roar echoed across Beirut and its outskirts, reaching areas far from the capital.
While since this morning the Israeli air force has been carrying out a series of violent raids targeting several areas and villages in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah announced the execution of a series of operations against Israeli sites.
