Shafaq News- Beirut Israel on Wednesday killed four people in its first strike on Beirut since the war with Lebanon began, hitting a residential building in the Aisha Bakkar district. Lebanese media reported the apartment was being used as an office by the Islamic Group (Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiyya), which the United States designated in January as a terrorist organization over its alleged ties to Hamas and involvement in attacks against Israel. The group is the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, Hezbollah said its fighters fired rockets earlier today at Israeli troop concentrations near the Manara military site and south of the border town of Al-Khiam, describing the attacks as a response to Israeli strikes across Lebanon. According to Israel’s Health Ministry, 2,339 people have been hospitalized since the war began on March 2, with 95 still receiving treatment, while figures from Lebanon’s Health Ministry show Israel's offensive has so far left 486 dead and 1,313 wounded.
