In Lebanon, Israeli strikes on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs killed at least three people and wounded 15 others on Sunday. Witnesses said two missiles slammed into an apartment building, causing severe damage to nearby homes and businesses, in what Israel\u2019s military claimed was a \u201cprecise\u201d strike on a Hezbollah command center.<\/p>\n
Batoul Al-Masri: \u201cWe stayed here and didn\u2019t flee throughout the whole year. We are not afraid. We will not leave our home, no matter what happens. But today we didn\u2019t expect this targeting to happen. The children have been terrified, naturally. We will never leave, and whatever happens happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the bombings came in response to Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel. That drew a rare public rebuke from President Trump, who wrote on social media that the attack \u201cshould not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran.\u201d Meanwhile, Israel\u2019s Defense Minister Israel Katz has promised his forces will remain deployed in southern Lebanon, parts of Syria and much of the Gaza Strip indefinitely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Lebanon, Israeli strikes on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs killed at least three people and wounded 15 others on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-493955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
