Two Israeli airstrikes hit the Dahieh district in Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, following an evacuation warning issued by the IDF to residents in the area, Lebanese media reported Sunday evening.
Saudi-owned Al-Hadath TV quoted Israeli political sources as saying there is a “window of opportunity” to reach a cease-fire in Lebanon by Thursday.
The sources noted that the IDF has renewed its support for a cease-fire in Lebanon, with plans to shift forces to Gaza and the West Bank.
The unprecedented Hezbollah attacks earlier Sunday were described as part of a “final showdown,” with Israeli sources warning of an imminent escalation along the Lebanese front in the coming hours.
Israel conducted three airstrikes in the Syrian capital on Sunday against a security complex and a government research centre which it has said in the past was used by Iran to develop missiles, two regional security sources told Reuters on Sunday.
Israel has watched the rapid overthrow of the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with a mixture of hope and concern as officials weigh the consequences of one of the most significant strategic shifts in the Middle East in years.
U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein said the situation in Syria, where rebels are pressing a rapid advance that is threatening President Bashar al-Assad's grip on power, was creating a new weakness for militant Lebanese group Hezbollah and for Iran.
