Israel Air Strike in Beirut Kills Five, Wounds 28
On Sunday, Israel conducted an air strike in Beirut targeting a senior Hezbollah commander, resulting in five deaths and 28 injuries. The attack struck a nine-storey residential building in Haret Hreik, a Hezbollah stronghold, causing significant damage. Initial reports from Lebanon’s health ministry indicated one death and 21 injuries, but this was later updated. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the operation aimed at a top operative involved in Hezbollah's military activities. This strike marks the first attack on Beirut's southern suburbs since June 5, following near-daily strikes in Lebanon since a ceasefire in November 2024.
