Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Hezbollah ceasefire

Israeli forces conducted an airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs (Dahieh) on 14 April, marking the first attack on the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on 16 April, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stated he personally approved the strike targeting a commander of Hezbollah's Radwan Force. The strike, which occurred around 20:00 local time and damaged at least one building, underscores continued violations of the ceasefire by both sides; Lebanon's health ministry reported over 120 deaths across the country in the past week, though it does not distinguish combatants from civilians.
