Israel escalates Beirut bombing, says it hit Hezbollah ‘command center’

Smoke rises near a giant portrait of the late Hezbollah military commander Imad Mughniyeh after a building was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, Oct. 20, 2024.

Fighting raged on two fronts Sunday as Israel targeted what it said was a Hezbollah "command center" in the Lebanese capital, while in Gaza rescuers reported 73 people killed in a single airstrike.
