Two waves of Israeli strikes hit the Hezbollah-controlled Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut overnight into Thursday, with Lebanese authorities reporting at least six people killed and 15 others wounded in the attacks. The Israel Defense Forces had called for residents to evacuate hours before the strikes.

A rare Israeli airstrike on central Beirut killed Hezbollah's chief spokesman Sunday, an official with the militant group said.

The Israeli military on Saturday kept up its fierce bombardment of Lebanon, including Beirut's southern suburbs and the port city of Tyre, with two paramedics among those killed, as attacks continued to rage across much of the devastated Gaza Strip.
