Hezbollah launched multiple drone attacks on Israel's elite Golani Brigade base near Akka, claiming accurate hits. The resistance movement also conducted rocket strikes on various Israeli settlements and destroyed a Merkava tank. These attacks are part of ongoing retaliation since October's Gaza war began, with Hezbollah claiming over 100 Israeli troops killed. The movement vows to continue until Israel ends its operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

In a devastating pre-dawn strike, Israel targeted a multi-story residential building in central Beirut, Lebanon, resulting in at least 11 deaths and dozens of injuries. The Israeli attack, which used powerful "bunker-busting" bombs, flattened the building, leaving a deep crater and igniting widespread fires in the area. Rescue workers raced to search for survivors beneath the rubble, with 63 others confirmed injured. The attack, part of Israel's ongoing escalation against Hezbollah, has left the city reeling. Watch the chilling aftermath as firefighters battle blazes, and residents survey the extensive damage in Beirut's Basta and Choueifat neighbourhoods.
