Hezbollah-Linked Financial Institution Al-Qard Al-Hassan Under Israeli Attack

Al-Qard Al-Hassan, a Hezbollah-affiliated financial institution, has come under Israeli airstrikes in Beirut's southern suburbs. Founded in 1983, the institution offers interest-free loans and financial services to various religious communities. Despite recent attacks, Al-Qard Al-Hassan continues to operate, providing crucial financial support to many, including those affected by Lebanon's 2019 financial crisis.

Israel claims the strikes are intended to disrupt Hezbollah's infrastructure, but analysts suggest the impact is limited. The attacks have caused significant displacement and raised concerns about humanitarian aid as the conflict in south Lebanon intensifies.
