Live: Israel strikes central Beirut as Iran attack leaves two dead near Tel Aviv

An Israeli strike on central Beirut has resulted in at least six deaths and 24 injuries, as reported in a live update. This attack occurred without warning and coincided with an Iranian missile launch that killed two individuals in a Tel Aviv suburb. The missile launch followed the confirmation of the death of Iran's security chief in an airstrike. The situation is part of escalating tensions and violence in the region, particularly between Israel and Iran-backed groups. In addition to the Beirut strike, Israeli air raids on the town of Nabi Chit in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley have reportedly killed at least 12 people and injured 33, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The ongoing conflict has led to significant casualties, with Lebanese officials stating that over 200 individuals have died in Lebanon since the conflict began. The humanitarian impact is severe, with more than 95,000 people displaced from their homes due to the violence. The Israeli military has been conducting extensive operations in southern Lebanon, issuing evacuation orders that have prompted a mass exodus of civilians. Estimates suggest that over 300,000 Lebanese civilians have evacuated their villages in southern Lebanon, as the conflict continues to escalate. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing military actions and humanitarian crises developing as a result of the conflict.
