#Middle #East #Latest: Over a #Dozen #Killed in #Israeli #Strikes #Near #Beirut #Hospital

Tragedy struck Beirut as Israeli airstrikes late Monday hit buildings near the Rafik Hariri University Hospital, Lebanon’s largest public hospital. Over a dozen people were killed, and 57 others were injured, including seven in critical condition. While the Israeli military stated the target was a Hezbollah facility, Lebanese health officials reported severe damage to the hospital and surrounding buildings. Hezbollah retaliated by launching rockets into central Israel just hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the region, aiming to mediate peace and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. The escalating violence underscores the growing human toll as efforts for cease-fire negotiations continue.
