BEIRUT, LEBANON - NOVEMBER 24: Israel’s overnight airstrike damaged buildings and vehicles in Haret Hreik, southern Beirut on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Civil defense crews cleared rubble from the area on Monday, where blown-out windows, damaged facades and badly wrecked vehicles showed the impact of the attack.

According to Lebanese authorities and media, the strike was the first Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital in months and it came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah despite a U.S.-brokered truce.

The Israeli military said it targeted Haytham Ali Tabatabai, Hezbollah’s acting chief of staff, who was killed along with four militants.

The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed that five people were killed and 28 others injured in the Israeli attack.

Hezbollah vowed to respond to the strike and Lebanon’s president condemned it, urging international intervention.

Israel has carried out multiple strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut since the ceasefire, most recently in June.

Tensions in southern Lebanon have been mounting for weeks, with the Israeli military intensifying near-daily air raids inside Lebanese territory, claiming to target Hezbollah members and infrastructure.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least 331 people have been killed and 945 injured by Israeli fire since the ceasefire took effect on Nov. 27, 2024. The UN peacekeeping mission UNIFIL also reported more than 10,000 Israeli air and ground violations.

Under the ceasefire, the Israeli army was supposed to withdraw from southern Lebanon this January, but instead only partially pulled out and continues to maintain a military presence at five border outposts.
