The strike targeted a building in the southern part of the city, near a Hezbollah facility, causing widespread destruction and casualties. This is the third Israeli airstrike on Beirut since fighting broke out between Hezbollah and Israel. The strike comes after Hezbollah launched rockets in solidarity with Hamas, leading to a wide-ranging attack that resulted in multiple casualties. The US has put out a $7 million reward for information on Ibrahim Aqil, a top Hezbollah commander wanted for his role in attacks in the 1980s. Amidst rising tensions in the region, the UK is scrutinizing evacuation plans for British citizens in Lebanon.

Several organizations are urging the UK government to suspend its trade agreement with Israel until a review is completed. The situation in the region remains volatile as multiple parties are involved in escalating conflicts.
