Israel Strikes Beirut, Killing Six, Amid Escalating Conflict
At least six people were killed and seven injured in an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in central Beirut, Lebanon. The strike targeted a building associated with Hezbollah’s health division, marking the second airstrike on Beirut this week.
The attack follows a series of clashes between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces have suffered significant losses. Eight Israeli soldiers were killed in ground engagements with Hezbollah, prompting Israel to revert to aerial bombardments.
The conflict escalated further with Iran launching over 180 missiles towards Israel, prompting a strong response from Israel. The US has warned Israel against attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, with President Joe Biden ruling out such support.
Hezbollah has vowed to continue its resistance against Israel, with the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, recently killed in a strike. The death of Nasrallah has significantly impacted Hezbollah, but the group remains committed to its fight against Israel.
