BEIRUT/JERUSALEM – Israel launched a targeted airstrike on central Beirut in response to clashes with Hezbollah, resulting in at least six casualties. Following its deadliest day against the Iran-backed armed group in a year-long conflict, Israel made the decision to strike Beirut.
Witnesses reported a massive blast, with the strike hitting a building in the Bachoura neighborhood near the parliament. This marks the closest Israeli strike to Lebanon’s seat of government, escalating tensions in the region.
