"Israeli air raids have torn through densely populated commercial and residential districts in central Beirut without warning, striking the heart of the capital just hours after a ceasefire was announced in the United States-Israeli war with Iran."
"The Israeli military described the bombardment as the largest coordinated strike of the current war, with more than 100 Hezbollah-linked targets hit within 10 minutes in Beirut, southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley."
"Residents and local officials, however, insisted that the buildings struck were not military sites, highlighting the impact on civilian life amid the ongoing conflict."
Israeli air raids targeted central Beirut, resulting in numerous casualties and extensive damage to civilian infrastructure. The strikes occurred shortly after a ceasefire was announced in the conflict involving Iran. Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health reported preliminary figures indicating dozens killed and hundreds wounded. The Israeli military claimed the bombardment was aimed at Hezbollah-linked targets, while local officials stated that civilian buildings were hit. The attacks marked a significant escalation, with over 1,530 deaths reported in Lebanon since the conflict began, displacing 1.2 million people.
