11 killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes targeting central Beirut

The army conducted intelligence-based strikes on Hezbollah targets in Dahiyeh, Beirut’s southern suburbs, including command centers and weapons storage facilities, with advance warnings to civilians. In Gaza, strikes resulted in at least six deaths, half of them children, in Khan Younis. The death toll in the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza has surpassed 44,000, with over 17,000 militants killed according to the Israeli military. The conflict began in October 2023 when Hamas militants crossed into Israel, resulting in 1,200 deaths and 250 abductions. Most hostages have been released, but around 100 remain inside Gaza. The Israeli offensive has caused widespread destruction in Gaza, displacing 90% of the population and leading to squalid conditions in tent camps. Rebuilding efforts face significant challenges.
