An Israeli airstrike targeted a residential apartment in Bchamoun, near Beirut, resulting in the deaths of at least two individuals, as reported by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. The attack, occurring approximately 10 kilometers southeast of Beirut, also injured five others.
The Israeli military has been conducting operations in Lebanon, issuing evacuation warnings for areas such as Burj Shemali in the south. The recent strike occurred outside Beirut's southern suburbs, an area previously given evacuation notices by the Israeli military.
According to reports, the attack targeted members of the Quds Force, the foreign unit of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Israeli military has previously claimed to target IRGC operatives in Lebanon.
Lebanese authorities indicate that the ongoing conflict, which began following a Hezbollah attack on March 2, has resulted in over 1,039 fatalities and 2,876 injuries due to Israeli military actions. The conflict was initially triggered by the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

On Tuesday, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency detailed that Israeli air raids hit seven areas in Beirut's southern suburbs, including Bir al-Abed and Haret Hreik. Additionally, a petrol station associated with the Amana company in Rashidieh was struck, contributing to significant fires.
United Nations sources report that more than 1.2 million people have been displaced within Lebanon due to the conflict. This has significantly affected the ability of Lebanese armed forces to provide aid and assistance, particularly south of the Litani River.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has proposed altering Lebanon's borders to include areas up to the Litani River. This suggestion comes amidst ongoing military engagements between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, with Hezbollah launching several attacks against Israeli military positions in response to the escalating conflict.
