Israel carried out airstrikes on central Beirut, targeting what it said was an office of Hezbollah's financial network. The strikes hit an apartment building, and Lebanese state media reported that at least eight people were killed.

Israel signaled the strikes were part of a long campaign, and the attacks came amid ongoing clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. Smoke was seen rising over the city following the strikes.
