Iran’s army leader vows ‘decisive’ retaliation for death of security chief in Israeli strikes
Lebanon says six killed as Israel strikes Beirutpublished at 03:45 GMT
Meanwhile, Israel has been carrying out strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s capital Beirut, where the health ministry says at
least six people were killed and 24 others injured.
It added that the figures
are preliminary and the victims’ identities “will be determined after DNA
testing”, a statement said.
Local media previously reported one strike hit an apartment building in the central Zuqaq al-Blat
neighbourhood, which is close to the government headquarters and several
embassies.
A second strike also hit
the central Basta district, with witnesses hearing several explosions,
according to AFP.
Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah launched rockets towards Israel in response to US-Israeli strikes that killed Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
