Airstrike in Beirut Leaves Seven Dead, Many Injured
Witnesses reported that Israeli warplanes struck the area, with explosions heard across the capital and surrounding neighborhoods, and smoke rising from the targeted site.
Beirut’s southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, are a major Hezbollah stronghold and have been repeatedly targeted in Israeli operations. Earlier in the night, Israeli forces also struck vehicles in the Jnah area of Dahiyeh.
Israel has conducted both airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2, despite a ceasefire that had been in place since November 2024.
Hezbollah has responded with rocket barrages into Israel since early March, citing continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon and the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28.
Lebanese authorities report that at least 1,268 people have been killed and 3,750 injured in Israeli operations since the escalation began.
