Previous strike and escalation
A previous strike in Beirut killed five members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Sunday.
Lebanon was drawn deeper into the regional conflict after Iran-backed Hezbollah opened fire on Israel, saying it was retaliating for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader.
Israel has since carried out air strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon and in Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing nearly 500 people, including more than 80 children, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
