The Israeli military announced today that it has begun attacks on Beirut and is targeting the infrastructure of the militant group Hezbollah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the Israeli strikes on Beirut were "a response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel."

When Israel last attacked the suburbs of Beirut a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.

Tehran, an ally of Hezbollah, has insisted that any ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran must include a halt to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel on March 2, two days after the US and Israel attacked Iran, sparking a war in the Middle East.
