Israel’s latest attack on Beirut unprovoked
When Israel struck Beirut in March, it was in response to a rocket launch from Lebanon that targeted an Israeli border town – although Hezbollah had denied responsibility for the attack.
Early in April, the second Israeli attack on Beirut since the ceasefire came without warning – to assassinate a Hezbollah military official. The strike killed four people.
Today’s evacuation order and bombing were unprovoked. They come amid near-daily Israeli violations of the truce and attacks in the south of the country.

Hezbollah MP calls for UN complaint against Israel
Ibrahim Mousawi, a legislator in Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, tells Al Mayadeen TV that the Israeli attack on southern Beirut is a violation of all of Lebanon and its national sovereignty.
Mousawi urged the Lebanese government to submit a formal complaint to the UN and call for an urgent Security Council meeting to address Israeli abuses.
He also suggested that Hezbollah will not disarm. “There are points of strength that remain in Lebanon, including national unity, including the unified position, including the weapons that remain,” Mousawi said. “And so talks need to stop about [giving up] any point of strength that we should hold onto now more than ever.”
