Israel attacks Beirut again despite Trump's demand not to, and Iran responds by firing missiles at Israel

At least two people have been killed and 20 injured in the Israeli attack. In response, Iran fired missiles at Israel tonight, triggering alerts in "several areas of the country."

At least two people were killed and 20 others injured this Sunday in an Israeli attack on two apartments in the Dahye neighbourhood of southern Beirut, according to the Israeli army, which said the target was a barracks of the Shia group Hezbollah.

Local media have broadcast footage of the bombing and damage to buildings, a residential neighborhood that after the blast could see a large number of passers-by.

Lebanon and Israel agreed to a ceasefire on Wednesday, but today's attack leaves the agreement there. Hezbollah had already told the Lebanese government not to continue negotiations with Israel.

More than 3,600 people have been killed by Israel in Lebanon since March. Lebanon is one of the keys to the U.S.-Iran dialogue.

Israel has activated alerts in "several areas of the country" because Iran is launching missiles at it.

Thus, following the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the spokesman for the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Ebrahim Rezaei, has promised that Iran will respond "forcefully and painfully" tonight and has fulfilled its threat.

Thus, the Israeli Armed Forces confirmed that several missiles launched from Iran were intercepted tonight and added that all defence systems were activated.

Israel has activated alerts "in various parts of the country" and asked its citizens to "follow the instructions of the Internal Front Command", reminding them that the system against Israeli air defense "is not infallible", so it is "important to follow the instructions of the Internal Front Command".
