Borrell meets UNIFIL chief in Beirut, says peacekeepers have 'strong support' of EU
The meeting in Beirut comes days after four Italian soldiers were injured after two rockets exploded at a UNIFIL base in Shama, apparently fired by Hezbollah or one of its affiliate groups.
The EU's Foreign Policy chief Josep Borrell’s visit to Lebanon comes at the end of a Middle East tour related to the ongoing wars in Gaza and Lebanon. Before his visit to Beirut, Borrell visited Cyprus and Jordan.

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.

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.

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.
