Smoke was seen rising from the strike in the densely populated Zuqaq al-Blat neighborhood, near the central Beirut district where the Lebanese government is headquartered. Two people were missing after the strike and another 31 were wounded, the ministry said. Hezbollah said in a statement it launched a salvo of drone attacks at “sensitive military sites” in Tel Aviv.
But on Sunday, Israel hit targets in the Beirut city limits for the first time in more than five weeks, killing 10 people in two separate strikes, including Hezbollah’s top media official. World powers say a ceasefire must be based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701 which ended a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. Its terms require Hezbollah to move weapons and fighters north of the Litani River, about 30 km north of the Israeli border.Hochstein, who has conducted several rounds of fruitless ceasefire talks over the last year, expressed hope last week that one could be reached.
“All the comments that we presented affirm the precise adherence to Resolution 1701 with all its provisions,” said Khalil.
