Kyiv • UNN
The Israeli Air Force carried out 10 simultaneous strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut. The attack came amid a possible ceasefire vote between Israel and Hezbollah.
At least ten simultaneous Israeli strikes hit the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday. A spokesman for the Israeli military said that the Israeli Air Force is conducting a "large-scale attack" on Hezbollah targets. UNN reports this with reference to France 24.
Details
Lebanese media reported an Israeli strike on a building in the center of the capital after the Israeli army warned people to evacuate the area.
The AFP news agency called the attack on Beirut the most intense in two months of a full-scale war with Israel.
The Israeli military issued an order to evacuate 20 settlements in the area.
Addition
the Israeli security cabinet was going to vote on whether to approve a US-backed cease-fire proposal aimed at ending hostilities with Iran-backed militants.
Recall
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously approved a possible ceasefire agreement with the Lebanese movement Hezbollah. However, Israel wants to submit some reservations and hand them over to the Lebanese authorities.
The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, which is run by Hamas, said that at least 44,249 people have been killed in the more than 13 months of war between Israel and Palestinian militants.
