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.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted a truce deal with Hamas, leading to a significant development in the ongoing conflict. As part of the agreement, Hezbollah fighters will be released from Israeli custody, marking a substantial concession from Netanyahu's government. This move is seen as a strategic win for Hamas, which has successfully pressured Israel into freeing key militants. The truce deal, although controversial, represents a major shift in the power dynamics of the region. The release of Hezbollah fighters is expected to escalate tensions, as it signals a potential realignment of forces in the Middle East.

IDF Reserve Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi credited President-elect Donald Trumpâs stern warning as a pivotal factor in securing the Israel-Hamas cease-fire after a 15-month conflict.

Avivi also acknowledged Israelâs strategic victories over Hezbollah and Syriaâs weakened stance as contributing factors. The agreement, brokered with Trumpâs team, is set to take effect just before his inauguration.

Israelâs announcement of quitting the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has sparked controversy, as the country was never a member to begin with. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused the UNHRC of discrimination, but critics argue that Israelâs âwithdrawalâ is symbolic rather than official. The UNHRC has repeatedly condemned Israel, but without membership, can Israel truly âleaveâ the council? This contradiction raises questions about diplomatic strategy and international narratives. The confusion follows the U.S. departure from the UNHRC, amplifying scrutiny on the councilâs treatment of Israel.
