At least nine people have been killed in a Thursday morning bombardment by Israeli forces on the center of Beirut that hit a medical center linked to the Shiite militia party Hezbollah, according to a new list of victims released by the ministry. Health

The attack took place in the Al Bashura area, near official institutions such as the government palace and parliament. According to the ministry, the nine deaths also include 14 injured people, four of whom are hospitalized.

The Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Authority Center has assured that seven of its activists are included in the list of the dead, although the government has clarified that it is waiting for genetic tests to identify all victims.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have not provided details of this specific attack, but they have once again defended the “selective” bombing launched in recent days in the Lebanese capital. He alleged that they wanted to minimize collateral damage and once again blamed Hezbollah for hiding in residential areas, “endangering the population”.
