STORYLINE:
Huge plumes of smoke billowed above Beirut’s skyline Thursday after overnight Israeli airstrikes that killed at least six people.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said the Israeli airstrike hit an apartment building in Beirut overnight as governments around the world scrambled to evacuate their citizens from the country.
Israel was pursuing a ground incursion into Lebanon against Hezbollah while conducting strikes in Gaza that killed dozens, including children.
The Israeli military said eight soldiers have died in the conflict in southern Lebanon.
On Wednesday, the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting
to address the spiraling conflict in Middle East.
Israel and Hezbollah have traded fire across the Lebanon border almost daily since the day after Hamas’ cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 Israelis and took 250 others hostage.
Israel declared war on the militant group in the Gaza Strip in response. More than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in the territory, and just over half the dead have been women and children, according to local health officials.
