A massive Israeli airstrike in central Beirut has left four people dead and 23 injured, destroying an eight-story residential building in the Basta neighbourhood. Speculation is rife that the strike targeted newly appointed Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem or senior officer Talal Hamiya. The attack, carried out with five missiles, comes amid heightened tensions following previous strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut and southern Lebanon. Lebanese health authorities confirmed the casualties, while search and rescue operations continue. Israeli authorities have not commented on the strike, fueling rumours surrounding its intended target.

Hezbollah carried out seven targeted attacks against Israeli forces in Khiam, Lebanon, using artillery, rockets, and drones, following Israeli incursions that destroyed residential areas. Lebanon's Bekaa Valley suffered heavy casualties, with 22 civilians killed in airstrikes. Over 3,500 Lebanese lives have been lost since October 2023, amid intensified clashes and air raids. Civilian displacement and destruction highlight the human toll of this growing conflict.
