On November 23, 2024, there was a powerful Israeli airstrike on Beirut that killed 11 people, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. As a result of a strike by four missiles on an eight-story building, including missiles designed to hit underground targets. According to Reuters, Israel has previously used such weapons to kill senior Hezbollah figures, including leader Hassan Nasralli, in a strike on southern Beirut in September.
The Israeli air force also carried out attacks on Hezbollah targets in the southern suburbs of Beirut, which is the group's stronghold, the Israeli military said. They have accused Hezbollah of placing its infrastructure in civilian areas and using residents as human shields, although the group denies these accusations.
Since late September, Israel has waged a major offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, targeting the group's strongholds in the southern suburbs of Beirut, southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, and sending troops to areas near the border. Wall Street Journal correspondent Dov Lieber noted that Israel is expanding its military campaign in Lebanon, which could lead to a war of attrition.
