Israeli strikes in central Beirut killed six people, Lebanese authorities reported. The strikes targeted areas in the central part of Lebanon's capital city.

Despite the ongoing military action, Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport remains operational with flights continuing to arrive and depart. The airport's continued operation indicates that Lebanon's main aviation hub has not been directly targeted in the current escalation.

The strikes represent a continuation of Israeli military operations in Lebanese territory. Central Beirut, which houses government buildings and residential areas, has previously been considered a relatively secure area compared to other parts of the country that have seen more frequent military activity.

Lebanese authorities have confirmed the casualty count from the strikes, though details about the specific targets and timing of the attacks were not immediately available. The strikes occurred amid broader regional tensions and ongoing military operations between Israeli forces and various groups in the region.
