Israel strikes Beirut after Hezbollah rocket fire tests ceasefire.
Israel carried out airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs on June 7, 2026, killing at least two people and wounding 11-17 others. The strikes came in response to projectile fire from Lebanon that Israel said it intercepted, which violated a US-brokered ceasefire announced days earlier. Hezbollah rejected the ceasefire agreement, demanding a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.
