Israel strikes Beirut as US-Iran deal signing approaches.
Israel carried out airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday, targeting what it said was a Hezbollah command center, after Hezbollah launched drones into northern Israel. US President Donald Trump publicly criticized the Israeli strike and urged all sides to stand down, stating a US-Iran peace deal was imminent. Iranian officials warned the strike jeopardized the negotiations.
