The building, located in the Bachoura district, housed a Hezbollah-affiliated health center. This marks the first Israeli strike near Beirut’s center, just meters from Lebanon’s parliament.

The strike followed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reporting eight soldier fatalities in southern Lebanon, their first losses since launching ground operations against Hezbollah. In response, Hezbollah claimed to have destroyed Israeli tanks and vowed to continue resisting.

Israel has intensified operations to dismantle Hezbollah’s “terrorist infrastructure” in southern Lebanon, as Hezbollah has launched hundreds of rockets into northern Israel. The escalating conflict has already displaced over 1.2 million people in Lebanon, with more than 1,200 reported dead.

The conflict has drawn international attention, with U.S. President Joe Biden expressing opposition to Israeli retaliatory strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, emphasizing the need for strategic discussions.

As the situation intensifies, the humanitarian toll continues to rise, with both sides suffering significant losses.
