Al-Jazeera reports on the IDF taking out a building in Beirut--with ample warning

In Beirut last Tuesday (22 Oct) the IDF posted a warning in Arabic on social media, notifying people in and around a pair of buildings in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital that they should evacuate the area because they planned to strike a building they claimed housed Hezbollah operations.

Given that warning, a photographer for the Associated Press took up a position across the street from the building and pointed his high-speed still camera towards the building.

About 40 minutes later a pair of small bombs hit the roof of the building in what Israel’s military calls a warning.  It's a practice Israel has followed in strikes in Gaza.

A few minutes later when a large guided bomb plunged from the sky, the photographer caught the bomb's fall at intervals of a fraction of a second.

Given the two warnings--both in Arabic on social media and the small "last warning" bombs, by the time the large bomb hit the building had been evacuated and there were no reports of casualties.

All the above is from...Al-Jazeera.  That's impressive, since everything above is exactly as they reported it--no hyped propaganda, and an acknowledgment that before Israel strikes a military target it warns residents to give them time to evacuate, sparing civilian lives.
