Israel conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs, killing at least three people and wounding six, according to Lebanon's civil defense agency. The strikes followed Hezbollah launching projectiles into northern Israel.
The strikes escalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, raising concerns about a wider regional conflict.
Israel stated on Sunday, June 14, 2026, that its military attacked Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs in response to the Lebanese armed group firing projectiles into Israeli territory. The Israeli military reported earlier that Hezbollah had launched three projectiles towards communities in northern Israel, characterizing the action as a "blatant ceasefire violation."
A joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the strikes, saying, "The IDF has now attacked terrorist targets of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah's firing into Israeli territory."
While there was no immediate comment from Hezbollah regarding the Israeli statement, the group did state that it launched missiles and drones toward Israeli troops in southern Lebanon. Earlier reports indicated Israeli forces conducted bombardments across multiple locations in southern Lebanon, and specifically struck Beirut's southern suburbs, following calls from Israeli officials to attack the area. Lebanon's civil defence agency reported at least three people were killed and six others wounded in the strike, which targeted an apartment in Dahiyeh.
