Lebanon’s public health ministry reported that one woman and two children were killed, with an additional 74 people wounded, three critically. “It shook the ground. It felt really close,” said a gas station attendant who wished to remain anonymous, describing the intensity of the blasts.

A 27-year-old architect named Jawad recounted his experience, saying, “The first missile landed, and barely a second passed before another came.” The missiles targeted the top corner of an eight-story building, causing extensive damage to the structure and surrounding area.

The Israeli military claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it had “carried out a targeted strike in Beirut on the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians.” 

This statement underscores Israel’s commitment to holding Hezbollah accountable for its actions.

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, telling Reuters, “We will file a complaint to the United Nations.”
