The previous evening, Iran struck Israel with ballistic missiles. The Israeli war cabinet decided to retaliate against Iran.
While an attack on Iran was expected, Israel once again targeted Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
The Israeli military announced that it had carried out a "precision strike" in Beirut. Security sources, however, reported that an area within Beirut, not far from the city center, was hit.
Israeli warplanes, which had previously targeted the Dahiyeh district in southern Beirut—known as a Hezbollah stronghold—also carried out an attack on a house in the village of Debl. It was reported that three people were killed in the attack.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, stated that it had targeted military sites and the Israeli city of Haifa with missiles, and forced Israeli forces infiltrating across the border to retreat. The Israeli military announced that eight of its soldiers were killed in the clashes in Lebanon. On the other hand, Hezbollah declared, "This is only the first round; we have the fighters, weapons, and ammunition to repel Israel."
