1. Various of explosions and smoke rising following Israeli airstrikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs
STORYLINE:
The Israeli military on Wednesday struck several sites in Beirut’s southern suburbs, an area known as Dahiyeh, after issuing evacuation warnings.
It said the strikes were targeting "Hezbollah facilities and interests." There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Also on Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the town of Aramoun, just south of Beirut, killed at least six people and wounded 15 others Wednesday, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said in a statement.
The state-run National News Agency reported that there were children missing after the strike and "it is not known whether they are under the rubble or were transferred to a hospital in the area."
There was no warning issued before the strike, and it was not clear what the target was. There was no immediate statement from the Israeli military.
Israeli forces and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have been clashing since Oct. 8, 2023, when Hezbollah began launching rockets across the border in support of its ally, Hamas, in Gaza.
The conflict escalated beginning in mid-September. Israel has launched a widespread aerial bombardment of Lebanon and a ground invasion that it said is intended to push Hezbollah back from the border.
