Day 383 of Israel war with Gaza: Israel pounds Beirut in ‘violent night’ of attacks on south suburbs

By Desmond Nleya
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least one person was killed and five wounded as Israel carried out at least 17 strikes on Beirut’s suburbs overnight.
Israel’s attack levelled six buildings in Beirut’s southern suburb of Laylaki in what Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Beirut described as a “very violent night” of strikes that began without warning.
Gaza’s Government Media Office says more than 770 Palestinians have been killed and 1,000 wounded as the Israeli military attack on Jabalia and the siege of northern Gaza enter the 20th day.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that Palestinians “suffering under the ongoing Israeli siege in north Gaza are rapidly exhausting all available means for their survival”.
In Gaza, at least 42,792 people have been killed and 100,412 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
