Planes switch runways after Israeli strike near Beirut airport: Lebanese security official tells AFP

A Lebanese security official told AFP that the country's national airline had to switch landing strips on Monday after Israeli strikes near Beirut's only international airport hit close to the main runway.

"Middle East Airlines switched the runway it was using because the main runway is close to the site of the Ouzai strike," the official said, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
