The strike hit a multistory residential building, killing three members of a Hezbollah-aligned group, and another strike early Monday killed a Hamas commander in Lebanon
Lebanese citizens remove debris from the entrance of their shop at the scene where an Israel i airstrike hit a building early on Sept. 30.The first apparent Israel i air strike on central Beirut in nearly a year of conflict levelled an apartment building early Monday. It came after Israel hit targets across Lebanon and killed dozens of people, as Hezbollah sustained heavy blows to its command structure, including the killing of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah .
Neither militant group has played a significant role in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Shiite militant group Hezbollah. The Lebanese Health Ministry said at least 105 people were killed around the country in air strikes Sunday. Two strikes near the southern city of Sidon, about 45 kilometres south of Beirut, killed at least 32 people, the ministry said. Separately, Israeli strikes in the northern province of Baalbek Hermel killed 21 people and wounded at least 47.
Meanwhile, wreckage from Friday’s strike that killed Nasrallah was still smouldering. Smoke rose over the rubble as people flocked to the site, some to check on what was left of their homes and others to pay respects, pray or simply to see the destruction. The Houthis claimed they took precautionary measures ahead of the strikes, emptying oil stored in the ports, according to Nasruddin Ammer, deputy director of the Houthi media office. He said in a post on X that the strikes won’t stop the rebels’ attacks on shipping routes and on Israel.Meanwhile, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Israel’s air strikes in Lebanon had “wiped out” Hezbollah’s command structure, but he warned the group will work quickly to rebuild it.
