Israeli airstrikes targeted central Beirut today, reportedly killing at least four people and injuring 23 others. The strikes hit a residential building in the Basta neighborhood, causing extensive damage and leading to rescue operations amid the rubble. This marks the fourth airstrike by Israel in the area this month, escalating tensions in the region. The U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein is seeking a ceasefire agreement as violence continues following the recent conflict that began on October 7, 2023, involving Hezbollah and Israel.
