Israel risks US wrath after fresh strikes on Beirut
Beirut / Washington | At least one Israeli strike hit Beirut’s southern suburbs on Wednesday, witnesses reported, hours after the US said it opposed the scope of Israeli attacks in the city amid a rising death toll and fears of wider regional escalation.
Reuters witnesses heard two blasts and saw plumes of smoke emerging from two separate neighbourhoods in Beirut’s southern suburbs. It came after Israel issued an evacuation order early on Wednesday which mentioned only one building.
