Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital of Beirut are rare. The recent strike on Friday marks the third in nearly a year of cross-border strikes with the militant group Hezbollah since the conflict began last October.
In January, an Israeli airstrike resulted in the death of Saleh Al-Arouri, the deputy head of Hamas' military wing, who had been residing in Beirut at the time. This incident highlighted the ongoing tensions in the region.
