Israel-Hamas war latest: Israel carries out attacks in Beirut on Hezbollah targets

The Israeli military says it has struck the central headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut. A series of explosions Friday evening that killed at least two people and wounded dozens were the most powerful yet seen in the Lebanese capital the past year, leveling multiple buildings. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the Israeli leader was cutting short a visit to the U.S. and returning home. More than 720 people have been killed in Lebanon this week, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Israel has dramatically escalated strikes, saying it is targeting Hezbollah’s military capacities and senior Hezbollah commanders. Lebanon fears carnage like what Gaza has seen since Oct. 7.
