Israel’s deadliest attack yet on Beirut, say Lebanon officials | BBC News

Published

on



Lebanese officials say 22 people have been killed and 117 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on central Beirut yesterday evening.

There was no warning issued before the strikes which hit residential buildings in two densely packed neighbourhoods in Bachoura – a small Shia area in the capital.

This is the third time Israel has launched air strikes on the city outside of the suburb of Dahieh, where it has struck repeatedly.

Media outlets, quoting security sources, suggest the apparent target, Wafiq Safa, survived. Safa is a high-ranking Hezbollah official and close ally of Hezbollah’s former long-term leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Neither the Israeli military nor Hezbollah’s media office have commented.

Iran retaliates after US strike kills four at wedding | BBC News

Published

on



Iran has launched missile and drone attacks at US targets across the Middle East, after American forces resumed strikes against Iran.

It comes after the Iranian Red Crescent said four people – including a child – were killed at a wedding celebration when shrapnel from a US missile hit a house in southern Iran.

Iranian media initially said five people had been killed.

The US military says it is aware of the reports but that it never targets civilians, and was striking Iranian targets in response to “recent attempted” Iranian attacks.

Fears of return to all out US-Iran war after sharp escalation in deadly strikes | BBC News

Published

on



Iran and the United States have carried out on the biggest exchange of attacks since July, stoking fears of a return to all out war.

Iran said 18 people were killed and more than 100 injured in latest US bombardment. It accused the US of committing a war crime by striking a wedding in the city of Kuhestak, killing four people including two children. The Pentagon responded by saying it does not target civilians.

In retaliation, Iran launched a wave of strikes against American targets in the region, including in Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq and Bahrain.

President Trump is warning that the US is prepared to carry out further strikes in response to those attacks.

There are warnings of a serious impact on the global economy, with further disruption to oil and gas supplies, affecting inflation and global borrowing costs.
