Israel launched a rare airstrike on the center of the Lebanese capital Beirut, targeting the headquarters of the pro-Hezbollah Baath party. This strike, the fourth inside Beirut, hit Ras al-Nebaa without an evacuation warning, resulting in one death and three injuries.
Israeli strikes have mainly targeted Shia-majority areas where Hezbollah has influence, with hundreds seeking shelter in Ras al-Nebaa. In northern Gaza, at least 50 people were killed in strikes on Beit Lahiya, where displaced Palestinians were sheltering.
Witnesses described intense strikes, with residents removing the dead due to the absence of civil defense and ambulances. In central Gaza, Israeli strikes on al-Bureij killed 23 people, causing panic and devastation.
Israel's military offensive in Jabalya displaced thousands and killed dozens, with 20 Israeli soldiers reported killed in northern Gaza. The IDF stated the operation aims to dismantle terrorist infrastructure.
Israeli forces reached the village of Chama in southern Lebanon, withdrawing after clashing with Hezbollah. Israeli airstrikes continued in Beirut, with evacuation warnings issued for areas with a strong Hezbollah presence.
Discussions in Beirut focused on a US ceasefire initiative to prevent further devastation in Lebanon. Hezbollah is reportedly considering the proposal as the conflict escalates.
