Israeli Strike Kills Four, Injures 10 at Central Beirut Hotel

• An Israeli strike hit an apartment in the Ramada hotel building in central Beirut, killing four and injuring 10, Lebanon’s health ministry said.
• This marks the first strike to hit the heart of the capital since hostilities between Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah resumed last week.
• The hotel was sheltering displaced people who fled fighting in southern Lebanon and Beirut Southern Suburbs.
• Lebanon was drawn into the US-Israel conflict with Iran after Hezbollah launched rockets and drones into Israel.
• In response, Israel carried out heavy strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as areas near Beirut.
