Strikes hit Beirut and Israel as US seeks ceasefire deal
Live MintAn airstrike killed five people in central Beirut, and rockets fired from Lebanon killed one person in northern Israel and caused several injuries in a Tel Aviv suburb, amid a continuing U.S. push for a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hezbollah militants. Two separate strikes on Sunday also hit central districts in Beirut, killing Hezbollah’s main spokesman and several other people. Later in the day, after the strike in central Beirut, shrapnel from a missile that was intercepted at high altitude landed in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan, Israel’s military said. A 54-year-old female was fully conscious lying on the road," said Yaakov Lubinsky, a paramedic for Magen David Adom, the organization that manages Israel’s emergency medical response.
