Lebanon's state media report that an Israeli air strike on the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh killed three people and injured fifteen.
The Israel Defence Forces said it had struck a "command centre" used by Hezbollah after the Iranian‑backed group launched "aerial targets" toward Israel.
Photographs show extensive damage around the hit building, with police and emergency personnel attending the site.
Senior Iranian officials warned that the Israeli attack could derail an expected US‑Iran peace deal, as President Trump later criticised the strike as needless and urged a smooth signing of the agreement.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that "Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed" and that there should be no more attacks anywhere in Lebanon or by any other party against Israel.
He added, "This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace – Let's not blow it!"
Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf noted that Israel’s strikes on Dahieh showed the US was not fulfilling its commitments, while Brigadier General Mohammad Jafar Assadi warned that the Israeli attack would not go unanswered.
For decades, Iran has said its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, but Western countries continue to accuse it of pursuing weapons capabilities.
Lebanon was drawn into the Israel‑US‑Iran conflict on 2 March when Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed Iran's supreme leader. Israel responded with a bombing campaign across Lebanon and invaded parts of the south.
Israel and the US began launching strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US‑allied states in the Gulf and effectively close the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route.
Despite a ceasefire agreed in April, the US and Iran have exchanged intermittent fire, and the situation remains highly volatile.
