Israeli strikes in southern Beirut killed at least seven people Tuesday, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. It comes as Israel says it will keep control of southern Lebanon, establish a new security zone, and destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the Israeli border after its war with Hezbollah ends. Israel has killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon since it resumed its war with Hezbollah, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. More than a million people have been forced to flee their homes. This is Lebanon’s minister for social affairs.

Haneen Sayed: “I think this has a very different character from the previous war, different regions that have been targeted. And you have also the fact that host communities are tired. And this is another challenge — ensuring the social cohesion.”
