US EditionEscalating Tensions: Israeli Strikes Shake Beirut with Fatal Impact
Israel said the strikes targeted senior Hezbollah figures as Lebanon’s health ministry reported 24 wounded.
- On Wednesday, two Israeli strikes in the Beirut area killed at least seven people and injured 24, according to the Lebanese health ministry. Attacks hit vehicles in Beirut's southern outskirts and an area south of the capital.
- Israel's military carried out the strikes targeting a senior Hezbollah commander and another high-ranking member of the Iran-backed group, though their fates were not disclosed. Hezbollah has not yet commented on the attacks.
- According to Lebanon's state news agency NNA, one strike in the Khaldeh area killed two people and wounded three, while a separate strike in Beirut's Jnah area left five people dead and 21 injured.
- Israel's campaign in Lebanon has already claimed over 1,200 lives and displaced 1.2 million people; more than 100 have died since Hezbollah initiated retaliatory attacks. These strikes represent a significant escalation of the ongoing offensive.
- This surge in conflict began when Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in support of Tehran, two days after Iran faced aggressions from both Israel and the United States. The escalation pulled Lebanon into the broader Middle East war.
