Two waves of Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut, the Lebanese capital, yesterday, killing at least six people, according to the country’s health ministry. Hezbollah and the Israeli military said the first attack killed Mohammed Afif, the head of Hezbollah’s media office.
Strikes inside the capital have been infrequent, and the attacks revived fears that the city could be consumed by the larger war. An intensified push by the Israeli military appears aimed at pressuring the Lebanese government and Hezbollah to accede to terms for a cease-fire worked out between Israeli and American officials.
