Israel orders strikes on Beirut suburbs ahead of UNSC meeting

Israel orders strikes on Beirut suburbs ahead of UNSC meeting Israel on Monday said it would resume strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs ahead of a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting to discuss the attack on Lebanon. Iran, negotiating an end to its wider war with the United States, said a ceasefire in Lebanon remains a key condition for any deal. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz said they had ordered strikes on the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs, a densely populated area where Hezbollah holds sway.
