Over 240 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), more than 240 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards northern Israel on Wednesday.

And rocket fire appears to be continuing, with warning sirens sounding in at least four areas in northern Israel on Thursday morning, the IDF said, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

The most recent siren was in the Galilee Panhandle, near the Lebanese border.

At least five people were killed and eight injured in an Israeli airstrike on a building in central Beirut.

The multi-story block in Bachoura housed a Hezbollah-affiliated health center that the Israeli military said was hit in a “precision strike.”

This is the first Israeli attack near the center of Beirut – just meters from the Lebanese Parliament. There were five more air strikes overnight against targets in the southern suburb of Dahieh.
