Israel Strikes Southern Lebanon and Beirut After Rocket Fire
For the first time since the November 2024 ceasefire, Israeli airstrikes target Beirut, as tensions escalate over unclaimed rocket attacks from Lebanon.
- Israeli airstrikes hit southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut in response to two rockets fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory on March 28, 2025.
- This marks the first Israeli strike on Beirut since the fragile ceasefire with Hezbollah began in November 2024.
- Hezbollah denies responsibility for the rocket attacks and asserts its adherence to the ceasefire, while Israel holds the Lebanese government accountable.
- The strikes in southern Lebanon reportedly caused one death and 18 injuries, including three children, according to Lebanese sources.
- International figures, including French President Emmanuel Macron and the United Nations, have condemned the violence and called for restraint to prevent a wider conflict.
