BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli strike on Beirut has killed at least three people and wounded more than a dozen others, Lebanese health officials said, the first Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital in months that came after Hezbollah pounded northern Israel with rockets. Israel announced the strike but did not immediately elaborate on the target in Beirut’s crowded southern suburbs, where Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group holds sway. Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that at least three people were killed and 17 others wounded as local networks broadcast footage of wounded people being pulled from the ruins of a flattened building and ambulances rushing to the scene of the strike.
