Axios: Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said.

Why it matters: Iran threatened last week to launch a missile attack against Israel if it attacks Beirut, while the U.S. has backed Israel’s right to self-defence. Such a move could unravel U.S.–Iran negotiations and reignite the war. A U.S. defense official tells Axios that U.S. forces in the Middle East “are prepared for defense” in case Iran implements its threats and launches new attacks. Israel notified the Trump administration before the strike, a U.S. official and two other sources with knowledge tell Axios. “The United States supports Israel’s right to self-defense and stands with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to deliver a better future for its citizens,” a second U.S. official tells Axios. Hezbollah “must stop firing immediately and allow these agreements to take effect.” Driving the news: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike answered Hezbollah missiles fired at northern Israel earlier Sunday, which the Israeli military says it intercepted. Israeli officials said the Beirut strike targeted a Hezbollah command center in Dahieh — a Shia district known as a Hezbollah stronghold. (Axios.)

Times of Israel: Israel on Sunday carried out airstrikes in Beirut, with the military saying it targeted a Hezbollah headquarters in the group’s stronghold of Dahiyeh, a large suburb just south of the Lebanese capital.

Two people were killed and at least 11 were wounded in strikes, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported, adding that two apartments in two separate buildings were targeted.

Images of the aftermath showed several apartment buildings heavily damaged.

Iran threatened to retaliate, saying, “Watch the sky of the occupied territories tonight.”

According to the Saudi al-Hadath channel, Israel updated the United States ahead of the strikes. Israel has largely refrained from striking Beirut during the current conflict, at the request of the White House, which fears it would harm Washington’s efforts to secure a ceasefire and future nuclear deal with Iran, which is conditioning any agreement on a truce in Lebanon.
