Israel’s military conducted air strikes in central Beirut, killing at least six people and injuring seven others. The attack targeted a high-rise building linked to Hezbollah’s health unit. The Hezbollah-linked Islamic Health Authority reported that seven of its staff, including medics, were killed in the strike. The attack on Beirut came after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a previous strike, dealing a blow to the movement and its Iranian allies. In response, Hezbollah and its allies launched attacks in support of Hamas in Gaza. The conflict escalated further with Israel launching air strikes in southern Lebanon, killing 15 Hezbollah fighters. Israeli soldiers suffered casualties in ground combat, leading to a retreat as Hezbollah forces pushed back. The volatile situation led to Israeli evacuation orders for towns along the southern border. Lebanese villages were urged to stay evacuated as Israeli raids continued. The Israeli military emphasized that the ground offensive aimed to destroy tunnels and infrastructure on the border, with no plans for wider attacks on major cities. The ongoing conflict has displaced around 1.2 million Lebanese people and caused numerous casualties. Both sides continued to exchange fire in various locations, with reports of hundreds of rockets fired by Hezbollah towards Israel. The situation remains tense with ongoing military operations and civilian displacement in the region.
