Israel has carried out more attacks in neighboring Lebanon. Hamas, the group behind the October 7th terror attacks, says its local leader in Lebanon has been killed in an Israeli strike on the south of the country. Meanwhile, another Palestinian militant group says three of its members have died after Israel hit an apartment block in the Lebanese capital Beirut in the early hours. It’s the first apparent Israeli strike on the city center since the start of this current conflict. Israel has so far targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs and other Hezbollah strongholds in recent days, killing dozens of people.
Israel is widening its attacks on Iran-backed groups, both inside Lebanon and across the region. On Sunday, Israel’s military said it carried out strikes in Yemen targeting Houthi rebels, hitting sites in the city of Hodeidah on Yemen’s Red Sea coast. At least four people were killed and around 30 others wounded. Dozens of Israeli warplanes took part in the operation. A day earlier, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv’s international airport. The group has also repeatedly been attacking Red Sea shipping allegedly linked to Israel.
