US EditionIsrael strikes a building in southern Beirut, killing at least 4 people
- On what appeared to be Tuesday, April 1, 2025, Israeli forces conducted a strike in Dahieh, a Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut, eliminating a Hezbollah terrorist.
- The strike followed rocket fire from Lebanon and warnings from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would strike against any threat in Lebanon.
- The targeted Hezbollah operative, Hassan Ali Mahmoud Bdeir, had allegedly been directing Hamas operatives and assisting in planning a significant and imminent terror attack against Israeli civilians, and the strike damaged the upper floors of a building.
- According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, the strike resulted in at least three to four deaths, including a woman, and seven injuries, though Al Mayadeen reported that the operative eliminated did not hold a senior position.
- The strike, the second of its kind since a fragile, four-month-old truce brokered in November, has been condemned by Lebanon and Macron and further tests the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, with each side accusing the other of violations, though Hezbollah has denied involvement in rocket firings.
