At least six killed in Israeli strike on central Beirut

 At least five people have been killed and 11 have been injured in an Israeli air strike targeting a Hezbollah rescue facility in Bachoura, a district located in the center of Beirut. Journalists and witnesses reported loud explosions, marking the second Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital this week.

Yesterday's key developments:

  • Israel vowed retaliate to an attack by Iran during which Tehran fired around 200 missiles towards Israeli territory. “"We will respond. We can locate important targets and we can hit them precisely and powerfully," an Israeli military chief said.

  • After the US pledged support for Israel in the wake of Iran’s attack, President Joe Biden ruled out supporting an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. The US will try to align perspectives with Israel on an appropriate response over the coming days, a senior official said.

  • Israel’s military and Hezbollah reported a series of clashes in southern Lebanon as Israel continues what it describes as a "limited" ground operation in the area. Eight Israeli soldiers were killed in combat losses in Lebanon, the Israeli military said on Wednesday.
