Israeli airstrike hit the Kola Bridge area of central Beirut early Monday, marking the first attack on Lebanon’s capital in years. At least 105 people were killed and 359 injured in strikes across the country, according to Lebanon’s health officials. Israel said it targeted Hezbollah positions, but Lebanese officials reported civilian homes and buildings were hit. The strike follows the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli forces. Over one million people in Lebanon have been displaced by the ongoing conflict, which has escalated since Israel's assault on Hezbollah began in late September.
