Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, flattening a building and forcing residents to flee. The attack followed rocket fire from Lebanon, though Hezbollah denied involvement.
Lebanon’s Prime Minister called for the arrest of those responsible for the rockets, warning of threats to national security. Meanwhile, Israeli officials blamed Lebanon’s government, vowing that as long as northern Israel sees no peace, neither will Beirut.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strike as a violation of the France- and U.S.-brokered ceasefire, while French President Emmanuel Macron called the attack “unacceptable.” Tensions continue to rise as the ceasefire agreement remains fragile
