Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Hezbollah ceasefire

Israel has launched an air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs, known as Dahieh, for the first time since a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah on 16 April. The strike targeted a commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, with local media reporting that members of the unit were meeting when the attack occurred.

Israel has attacked Beirut for the first time since a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah on 16 April. The air strike hit Dahieh, where Hezbollah is based, causing large flames and damaging at least one building. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he personally approved the strike, targeting a commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force. Lebanon's health ministry reports that Israeli attacks have killed over 120 people in the past week. The ceasefire, announced by US President Donald Trump, has failed to stop the conflict, with both sides accusing each other of violations. Talks between Israel and Lebanon continue, but Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has rejected a meeting with Netanyahu.
