The Hezbollah militant group has a strong presence in central Beirut, known as the Dahiyeh, and the strikes came as Lebanese officials are considering a U.S.-brokered cease-fire proposal.

Hezbollah’s media chief, Mohammed Afif, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit the headquarters of the Lebanese Baath Party in central Beirut on Sunday. The strike targeted the Baath Party office in the densely populated Ras al-Naba neighborhood,

The decision followed two Israeli airstrikes, one targeting the busy shopping district of Mar Elias and another in the Ras al-Nabaa area of Beirut. According to the Ministry of Public Health, the Mar Elias strike killed three people and injured 13 others, while the Ras al-Nabaa strike killed four and injured 14.
