Lebanon says three killed in Israeli strike on Beirut suburb

Lebanon's state media have said at least three people were killed and 15 injured in an Israeli air strike on Beirut's southern suburb on Sunday.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it targeted a "command centre" used by Hezbollah in Dahieh, after the Iran-backed armed group launched "aerial targets toward Israel".

Photographs of the scene showed extensive damage around the building that was hit.

A senior Iranian official warned that the Israeli attack south of Beirut could derail an expected deal to end the fighting between Iran and the US.

US President Trump later said the attack "should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran".

"Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

He stressed that "there should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel."

"This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let's not blow it!" he added.
