Israel continued its intense airstrike campaign across Lebanon, which included several strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs and in the center of the city.
Israel’s Lebanon operation continues as leaders consider their response to Iran’s long-range attack on Tuesday, in which hundreds of missiles were fired into the country, according to Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations.
Iran said the unprecedented attack was retaliation for a wave of assassinations carried out by Israel over the last several weeks targeting Hezbollah, including leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Most of the missiles were intercepted, but “several hits were identified, and the damage is being assessed”, an Israeli security official said.
