Israeli army renews attacks on southern Beirut
The Israeli military says it is now targeting “weapons” it claims belong to Hezbollah and are stored under “civilian buildings” in Dahiyeh.
The army earlier said it would start launching attacks on the area, shortly after it struck the Haret Hreik district, levelling six buildings, killing six people, and wounding more than 90 others.
It ordered residents in at least two neighbourhoods – including al-Hadath and Laylaki – to leave.
Dahiyeh is a heavily populated area packed with Lebanese civilians.

Palestinian PM says Israel convinced it is ‘above the law’
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa described Israel as “a rogue state” and said it must be held accountable for “the crimes” it committed in Gaza.
“They’ve invaded cities in the [occupied] West Bank. They’ve attacked unarmed Palestinian citizens, and today we see them firing on the Lebanese people”, Mustafa said at a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Palestine.
“[Israel is] acting as a rogue state because they are convinced that they are above the law and they are entitled to things that other countries are not entitled to.”
Mustafa urged concrete steps from international actors on a two-state solution within the framework of the 1967 borders.
US-made ‘bunker buster’ bombs used in Beirut attack: Iran
Iran’s Foreign Minister Sayyed Abbas Araghchi told the UN Security Council the deadly attack on southern Beirut by Israel involved 5,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs supplied by the United States.
Instead of taking action against Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza, the Security Council “rewards the Israeli criminal mafia” that is pushing the entire Middle East into a full-scale war, he added.
“The Israeli regime used several 5,000-pound bunker busters that had been gifted to them by the United States to hit residential areas in Beirut,” said Araghchi.
“Israel’s warmongering relies on US military support and political backing … therefore, the United States is implicated in every aspect of Israel’s atrocity.
“The Council must act now to stop Israel’s cruel plan to exterminate an entire nation of people who, for eight long decades, have been under brutal occupation and suppression.”
Hamas calls on Arab nations to intervene against Israel
The Palestinian group has condemned the “Zionist escalation and aggression” against the people of Lebanon.
In a statement, Hamas said Israeli attacks on Lebanon require intervention from the Arab world and called on “Arab and Islamic nations” to act and “reject this brutal aggression”.
Hamas said it supports the Lebanese people saying: “We share their pain and hope for victory … and appreciate their sacrifices.”
