A massive Israeli airstrike in central Beirut has left four people dead and 23 injured, destroying an eight-story residential building in the Basta neighbourhood.
Speculation is rife that the strike targeted newly appointed Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem or senior officer Talal Hamiya.
The attack, carried out with five missiles, comes amid heightened tensions following previous strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut and southern Lebanon.
Lebanese health authorities confirmed the casualties, while search and rescue operations continue.
Israeli authorities have not commented on the strike, fueling rumours surrounding its intended target.

Israel has launched one of its most daring operations inside Syria, sparking fears of an all-out war. A day after Israeli drone strikes killed six Syrian soldiers, IDF troops, fighter jets, and helicopters stormed a Syrian military site near Damascus in a rare ground raid. The two-hour mission saw Israeli forces land on a strategic hilltop before withdrawing. Syria accused Israel of violating international law, while Israel insists it was targeting Hezbollah-linked bases, raising tensions across the region.

Protesters erupted against Washingtonâs push to disarm Hezbollah, clashing with security forces and blocking his scheduled stops.

Yemenâs Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider âGreater Israelâ expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sanaâa, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egyptâs gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the âcrime of the centuryâ against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemenâs military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

A new video shows an Israeli drone crossing into Lebanon near Haddatha village, signaling potential further strikes on Hezbollah targets. Israel has carried out multiple drone operations, targeting alleged operatives and rocket sites, while critics accuse it of endangering civilians. The campaign aims to enforce the November 2024 ceasefire, demilitarize Hezbollah, and weaken Iranâs regional influence. Diplomatic pressure from the U.S. and France is ongoing, but Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament. Netanyahuâs operations are escalating tensions, destabilizing local governance, and drawing international scrutiny.

Hezbollahâs new leader Naim Qassem launched a scathing attack on the United States and Israel, declaring that calls for Hezbollah to disarm are part of a Zionist agenda. Accusing the U.S. of acting as a puppet for Israeli interests, Qassem vowed that Hezbollah will not lay down its arms or retreat from southern Lebanon. His defiant remarks come amid growing international and domestic pressure, with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirming his commitment to disarming all non-state actors.

Undersea cables in the Red Sea have been cut, disrupting internet traffic across Asia and the Middle East, with speculation swirling over whether Yemenâs Houthis or accidental ship anchors are responsible. Microsoft confirmed increased latency for some Azure users but said global traffic rerouting limited the wider impact. While Houthis, who have attacked over 100 ships since late 2023, deny targeting cables, experts warn intentional strikes could escalate the Israel-Hamas conflict into a broader international crisis. Investigations remain ongoing.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed groupâs facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by yearâs end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last yearâs ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters took to Lebanonâs streets in a massive show of force, unleashing a roaring sea of vehicles that stretched for miles. Horns blared, flags waved, and convoys snaked through Beirut and beyond, protesting the governmentâs US-backed plan to Strip the group of its weapons. The demonstration â dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists â sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.

Yemenâs Houthis have launched a bold new assault on Israel, claiming strikes on Tel Avivâs IDF headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, Hadera Power Plant, and Ashdod Port using upgraded Yafa drones and missiles. Officials report that Israelâs Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems failed to intercept the attacks, leaving the country caught off guard. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree warned that more deadly strikes will follow unless Israel halts operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
In a related escalation, Houthi forces also targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC Aby in the Red Sea using drones and a Soumar-type cruise missile, reportedly causing significant damage. If verified, these attacks further threaten vital shipping lanes already disrupted by over 100 Houthi maritime strikes since 2023, raising the stakes for regional security and international trade.
