Israel bombards Lebanese capital in latest round of strikes

At least seven people were killed and 21 others injured in Beirut on the morning of March 12 following an Israeli strike targeting the central part of the city, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported citing health authorities.

Reports also indicate that at dawn, strikes targeted the towns of Cana, Naqoura, and Taybeh in southern Lebanon.

Israel says it is striking Hezbollah strongholds amid the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.

Hezbollah, in turn, said that it hit Israeli positions both inside Israel and in southern Lebanon.

Israeli strikes have killed more than 600 people in Lebanon, and uprooted 800,000 more, Lebanese authorities said, according to Reuters.
