A major airstrike flattened buildings outside the Lebanese capital, where the IDF said Hezbollah maintains a command post.

As tensions remained high Friday between Hezbollah and Israel, international leaders called for both sides to seek paths to de-escalate the conflict.

Israel’s military said it was striking Hezbollah targets in Beirut in the early hours on Wednesday, stating its operational capabilities have not been affected by Iran’s missile strikes.

Hamas has blessed the"heroic rockets" launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran. They said the strikes were “ revenge for the blood of our heroic martyrs”, after more than 1,000 people were killed in a week during Israeli bombardment in Lebanon.
