Israeli forces struck the Dahiyeh area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, killing 12 people. Two people were killed in northern Israel by a Hezbollah attack.
The Israeli military has attacked the Lebanese capital of Beirut's southern suburbs with airstrikes in one of its heaviest daytime attacks yet on the area, after Israel's defence minister ruled out a ceasefire until Israeli goals were met. Smoke billowed over Beirut as around a dozen strikes hit the southern suburbs from mid-morning on Tuesday , killing 12 people, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
Ignited by the Gaza war, the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah had been rumbling on for a year before Israel went on the offensive in September, pounding wide areas of Lebanon with airstrikes and sending troops into the south. Israel has dealt Hezbollah heavy blows, killing many of its leaders including Hassan Nasrallah, flattening large areas of the southern suburbs, destroying border villages in the south, and striking more widely across Lebanon.
