  • Story Text:Damaged vehicles and bloodstains were seen across Beirut’s Jnah area on Wednesday (April 1) after overnight Israeli strikes hit the area, killing at least five people and wounding 21, the Lebanese health ministry said.
    Israel's military said on Wednesday it carried out two separate strikes targeting a senior Hezbollah commander and another senior member of the Iran-aligned group in the Beirut area, but did not identify them or say whether they had been killed.
    There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah on the strikes.
    The strikes are the latest in an escalating Israeli offensive in Lebanon which has killed at least 1,200 people and displaced 1.2 million others.
    Lebanon was pulled into the war in the Middle East when Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel in solidarity with Tehran, two days after Iran was attacked by Israel and the United States.
    Hezbollah's attack prompted a new Israeli ground and air offensive.
