Israeli Airstrikes on Hezbollah in Beirut

On Sunday, the Israeli military reportedly launched airstrikes on Hezbollah's headquarters located in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. This action occurred shortly after a fragile ceasefire agreement was established in Washington. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that these strikes were a response to earlier fire from Hezbollah towards northern Israel, according to reports. Hezbollah has not yet taken responsibility for the attacks. Residents in the vicinity reported hearing three distinct explosions, although the specific targets of the strikes remain unclear. Fortunately, there have been no immediate reports of casualties. It is worth noting that US President Trump had previously warned Netanyahu that an attack on Beirut would be unacceptable as he seeks to negotiate a peace deal involving Hezbollah's ally, Iran.
