Israel Strikes Beirut's Southern Suburbs Days After US-Supported Ceasefire Deal
The strike hit Hezbollah targets and apartment buildings, killing at least 2 people and deepening pressure on the fragile ceasefire.
- On Sunday, June 7, 2026, Israel struck the outskirts of Beirut for the first time since the United States announced a truce plan, casting new jeopardy on talks to end the wider war.
