Israel-Gaza-Lebanon live updates: Israel resumes airstrikes on Beirut after pause

Israel launched its first airstrike on Beirut in nearly a week early on Wednesday.

The Israel Defense Forces claimed a strike "on strategic weapons belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization" in the capital's southern Dahiya suburb. It was the first such attack in the capital since a strike killed 22 people on Oct. 10.

"These weapons were stockpiled by Hezbollah in an underground storage facility in the area of Dahiya, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut," the IDF wrote on X.

The strike came shortly after a new evacuation order issued online by IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee for residents of the Haret Hreik area of southern Beirut.

Hezbollah's acting leader Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said Hezbollah has the "right to target any point within the enemy's entity" in a prerecorded video address released Tuesday.

"The occupation seeks to destroy and eliminate everything that stands in its way, but the resistance is prepared to confront it and establish a new equation based on inflicting pain on the enemy," Qassem said. "We have the right to target any point within the enemy's entity, and we will choose the appropriate time and place to do so."

Delta will pause flights between New York's JFK International Airport and Tel Aviv through March 31 due to "ongoing conflict in the region," the airline said Tuesday.

Travel waivers will be issued to customers impacted by the change, the airline said.

"As always, the safety of customers and crew remains paramount," Delta said. "Customers should be prepared for possible adjustments to Delta's TLV flight schedule, including additional cancellations on a rolling basis."

The United Kingdom announced sanctions against Israeli settler outposts and four organizations in response to "continued violence by extremist Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank," Tuesday, according to a release from the U.K. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

The sanctions target outposts and organizations "that have supported, incited and promoted violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank," the U.K. said in a statement.

"When I went to the West Bank earlier this year, on one of my first trips as Foreign Secretary, I met with Palestinians whose communities have suffered horrific violence at the hands of Israeli settlers. The inaction of the Israeli government has allowed an environment of impunity to flourish where settler violence has been allowed to increase unchecked. Settlers have shockingly even targeted schools and families with young children," U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in a statement.

"Today’s measures will help bring accountability to those who have supported and perpetrated such heinous abuses of human rights. The Israeli government must crack down on settler violence and stop settler expansion on Palestinian land. As long as violent extremists remain unaccountable, the UK and the international community will continue to act," Lammy said.
