00:00Just tell us what happened overnight. Huge airstrikes were carried out. Just tell us what you saw and heard.

00:08So at about ten past two this morning, my colleagues and I were abruptly woken up by the sound of very, very loud explosions,

00:18very heavy bombardments, including in the vicinity of our guest house. And that continued for about 15 minutes.

00:27Just relentless bombs, sometimes with only a few seconds in between them. Whenever a bomb hits, when there was an impact,

00:36I could see the sky lighting up. After those first 15 minutes or so, towards 2.30 a.m., the bombing subsided somewhat.

00:47And that's where I could start to hear people scream outside. I heard people yelling right outside the guest house.

00:54I heard ambulances starting to arrive, the sirens of ambulances, and the sound of drones and airplanes flying over.

01:06That continues up to right now. There's just this constant rumbling of planes and the buzzing of drones.

01:14Throughout the day, I've heard occasionally explosions more in the distance.
