Israeli Drone Attack Leaves One Dead Near Beirut
(MENAFN) A deadly Israeli drone strike on a residential apartment building in the Hazmieh district, east of Beirut, claimed one life on Monday, Lebanon's Health Ministry confirmed.
The Israeli military asserted that the individual killed maintained ties to the Quds Force — the elite overseas operations arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — though it offered no supporting evidence or additional details.
Neither Lebanese government officials nor Hezbollah issued any statement in response to the strike.
The attack marks the latest chapter in an intensifying Israeli air and ground campaign against Lebanon, which has been underway since Hezbollah carried out a cross-border assault on March 2. Israeli forces have relentlessly struck targets across the country while simultaneously pressing a ground offensive in the south. Lebanese authorities place the cumulative death toll from Israeli strikes at no fewer than 1,039, with another 2,876 people reported wounded.
The conflict forms part of a wider regional conflagration that erupted when a joint US-Israeli military offensive against Iran began on Feb. 28 — operations that have so far left more than 1,340 people dead. Tehran has answered with successive waves of drones and missiles directed at Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and neighboring Gulf nations, framing the retaliatory strikes as operations against US military assets in the region.
