3 hours ago 31


The Israeli military has expanded its attacks in the Lebanese capital. For the first time, air strikes have hit an area of Beirut outside the armed group's stronghold. Israel says it's targeting Hezbollah sites. It bombed an apartment block near the city centre, killing three people. There is significant damage to the building in the Kola area. Israeli forces have increased their offensive since killing Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday. At least 136 people have been killed in the past 24 hours. Hamas said its leader in Lebanon has been killed in an air strike in the country’s south, as official media reported a strike on a Palestinian refugee camp. “Fatah Sharif Abu al-Amine, the leader of Hamas … in Lebanon and member of the movement’s leadership abroad” was killed in a strike on his “home in the Al-Bass camp in south Lebanon”, a Hamas statement said.
