Israel Kills At Least 6 In Beirut Air Raid... "Virgin of Retaliation"

[Anchor]
Israel, which has fended off a large-scale Iranian missile strike, has been increasing military pressure by airstrikes in the Lebanese capital of Beirut and reinforcing ground forces.

Hezbollah is also fighting hard, raising fears of a vicious cycle in which retaliation leads to stronger retaliation.

Israeli airstrikes targeting the center of the Lebanese capital Beirut and its suburbs continued overnight.

At least six people were killed when an apartment building in the city was bombed by Israeli forces.

Israeli forces say they have carried out a precision strike on Hezbollah's facilities.

The Israeli military, which suffered its first death since entering the ground war, has strengthened its battle lines by sending additional troops.

[Benyamin Netanyahu / Prime Minister of Israel] We are now fighting a difficult war against Iran's "axis of evil" that is trying to destroy us. This will not happen again because we will unite together and win with God's help.]

The Israeli military also released a video featuring soldiers carrying out operations and taking control of the building under the title "Activities of 36th Division in southern Lebanon."

Iran has not backed down on Israel, which continues its offensive regardless of massive missile attacks.

[Masoud Peschikyan / President of Iran] We had no choice but to respond. If Israel decides to retaliate, it will face a harsher response.]

Following the Hamas shootings, Yemen's pro-Iran Houthi rebels also claimed to have carried out drone attacks on Israel's Tel Aviv critical facilities to achieve their goals.
