Military has been striking deeper inside the country amid fierce fighting with Hizbollah militants
An Israeli air strike flattened a large residential building near one of Beirut’s busiest junctions on Friday morning, rocking the Lebanese capital after weeks of intense fighting between Israel and Hizbollah. The building was in Beirut’s Tayouneh neighbourhood, an area where the capital’s southern suburbs meet central Beirut. Residents heard the sound of an incoming missile, which then landed near the base of the 10-storey building, according to Associated Press footage and photographs.
Last month, US officials presented a draft plan to end the fighting that called for an initial 60-day ceasefire and the withdrawal of Hizbollah fighters and Israeli troops from southern Lebanon. But Israeli officials have said they will insist on the right to unilaterally “enforce” any agreement that ends the war — a stance that Lebanese government officials have rejected. Iran helped to establish Hizbollah 40 years ago and continues to act as its patron.
