Israel conducted renewed airstrikes on southern suburbs of Beirut, targeting what the Israeli military claims was a Hezbollah command center in the Dahiyeh district. Lebanese state media report two fatalities and four injuries as a result of the attacks, which involved two rockets according to security sources. Israel stated the strikes were a response to earlier rocket fire from Hezbollah towards northern Israel. Hezbollah confirmed launching attacks on Israeli military targets in southern Lebanon. The attacks coincide with US-Iran negotiations aimed at de-escalation, but Iran has vowed retaliation for what it calls Israeli “crimes,” suggesting a link to a broader peace agreement. A senior Iranian official criticized the US’s inability to restrain Israel, questioning the viability of continued negotiations.
