The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched airstrikes on central Beirut, killing at least 22 civilians, according to Lebanese authorities. The IDF claims to be targeting Hezbollah militants. Meanwhile, the United Nations reported that an Israeli tank fired on a UN peacekeeper observation post in southern Lebanon for the second time in two days, injuring two personnel. The UK government expressed being "appalled" by these attacks, urging for the protection of peacekeepers and civilians. The situation continues to escalate, with growing international calls for a ceasefire.
