An Israeli airstrike on Tuesday killed four people in Beirut’s southern suburbs, including a Hezbollah official. The Israeli military identified the deceased official, Hassan Bdeir, as both a member of Hezbollah’s military wing and Iran’s Quds Force.

The Israeli military says it struck a building in Beirut's southern suburbs, targeting a member of the Hezbollah militant group.

An Israeli strike on Beirut on Tuesday killed a Hezbollah official handling Palestinian affairs, in the second such raid within days on the Lebanese militant group's stronghold despite a four-month ceasefire.

Israel’s army said it hit a Hezbollah drone storage facility in Dahiyeh, which it called a militant stronghold.

Israel delayed a promised troop withdrawal in January and has continued to occupy several hilltops in south Lebanon. It has also carried out near-daily attacks on the country, claiming it was striking Hezbollah fighters and weapons.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, report finding it harder to find food amid bakery closures. Israel says enough food entered Gaza during a six-week ceasefire with Hamas to sustain the territory’s roughly 2 million Palestinians for “a long period of time.”

At least three people were killed and seven injured in Israeli airstrikes in Beirut’s suburbs. Israel said the strike targeted a Hezbollah member.

Israel has stated that its deadly overnight strike on a Beirut suburb was a targeted attack aimed at a Hezbollah official who posed an imminent threat to Israeli citizens. The attack resulted in four deaths and seven injuries.
