"Israeli strike early on Friday hit a car in Jnah, a coastal neighbourhood in southwestern Beirut, and killed one person, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said. An Israeli strike also hit an apartment in the Nabaa neighborhood, home to a sizable Armenian community, leaving it engulfed in flames, with no casualties immediately reported. It was the first time this area has been struck in this conflict or during the 2024 war between Hezbollah and Israel."
"A total of 687 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon in just less than two weeks, including 98 children. More than 800,000 people have also been forcibly displaced by Israeli attacks. Following the strikes, the Israeli army claimed it had targeted a Hezbollah member in Beirut."
"They were going after cash reserves by Hezbollah, which they said were in the basement of some of these buildings, said Al Jazeera's Heidi Pett, reporting from the capital. Both neighbourhoods are far from the southern suburbs of Beirut, which the Israeli military has declared unsafe and issued forced displacement threats for, and continues to pound daily."
Israel's military operations in Lebanon have intensified significantly, striking new areas in Beirut including Jnah and Nabaa neighborhoods that were not previously targeted in this conflict or during the 2024 war. An Israeli strike in Jnah killed one person, while another hit an apartment building in Nabaa, home to an Armenian community. The Israeli military claims these strikes targeted Hezbollah members and cash reserves. The broader assault has resulted in 687 deaths in less than two weeks, including 98 children, with over 800,000 people forcibly displaced. Continued bombardment affects southern Lebanon and other regions, with additional casualties reported in towns including Arki, Ain Ebel, and Barish.
