At least seven people were killed and 24 wounded in Israeli strikes on Beirut on Tuesday night, when explosions rocked the Lebanese capital and could be heard in other parts of the country.
The attacks began just after midnight with a strike on a vehicle in the Khalde area, south of Beirut, in which two people were killed and three wounded. A second strike hit vehicles in the city's Jnah district, killing at least five people and wounding 21, Lebanon's Health Ministry reported.
The two areas have taken in a large number of people displaced from southern Lebanon by fighting between the Israeli military and Hezbollah, as well as Israel's forced displacement orders.
Another strike was carried out at about 3am in Beirut's southern suburb of Hadath, although there were no initial reports of fatalities.
Israel's military said it had carried out two strikes against senior Hezbollah members in Beirut, but did not identify them or say whether they had been killed.
Hezbollah said one of its senior members, Mohammad Baqir Al Nabulsi, was killed in the strike on Jnah. He was the nephew of the group's spokesman, Mohammad Afif Nabulsi, who was killed in an Israeli strike in 2024.
Israel intensified its bombing of Lebanon and launched a limited ground invasion after Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel on March 2, two days after an air strike on Tehran killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon since then.
