Israeli troops attacked by Hezbollah as Lebanon’s Beirut struck again

Hezbollah says it has detonated a bomb against Israeli troops attempting to enter the village of Maroun al-Ras in southern Lebanon as Israel launches new air raids on Beirut.

Iranian source tells Al Jazeera Iran sent a message to the US via Qatar saying that it does not seek regional war but adding that “the phase of unilateral self-restraint has ended”. It also warned any Israeli attack would be met with an “unconventional response” that includes targeting Israeli infrastructure.

At least nine people have been killed and 14 wounded in Israeli air attacks targeting central Beirut as three missiles also hit the Lebanese capital’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh.

The Lebanese army says at least two soldiers have been killed in separate Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon.

Israel intensifies attacks on Gaza, killing dozens of Palestinians in separate strikes over the past 48 hours.

In Gaza, at least 41,788 people have been killed and 96,794 injured in Israeli attacks since October 2023. In Israel, at least 1,139 people were killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 and more than 200 people were taken captive.
