A risky strike: Several killed after alleged IAF strike in Beirut - report
The airstrike was unusual as it occurred in a part of Beirut close to several Lebanese government buildings not affiliated with Hezbollah.
Four people were killed, and a few others were wounded in a reportedly Israel Air Force strike in northern Beirut, Army Radio reported on Monday, citing Lebanese reports.
The airstrike was unusual as it occurred in a part of Beirut close to several Lebanese government buildings not affiliated with Hezbollah per se, as well as foreign diplomatic buildings.
The strike reportedly came without prior warning.
Taking a risk
The IDF has not commented on the strike but has struck riskier targets in Lebanon following further Israeli casualties from ambushes by the terrorist organizations and rockets and drones striking Israeli civilian areas.
The increasing aggressiveness by Israel led commentators to believe that this could pressure the Lebanese government into accepting more of Israel’s terms for a ceasefire.
The IDF has overall cleared out Hezbollah’s weapons from certain areas within four to five kilometers of the southern Lebanon border.
