First Israeli Attack on Central Beirut; A Unit of a Building Targeted

A Palestinian group reports that three of its leaders were killed in an Israeli attack on Beirut. At the same time, AFP has reported the deaths of two members of the 'Islamic Group' in Lebanon. The Palestinian militant group known as the 'Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine' announced on Monday, October 1, that three of its leaders were killed during the Israeli attack on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. This group is another regional militia fighting against Israel and is the largest Palestinian group opposing Fatah and the Palestinian Authority after Hamas. Earlier reports indicated that Israel attacked an area in central Beirut, which, if confirmed, would be the first Israeli attack within the limits of the Lebanese capital since October 7 of last year. Eyewitnesses told Reuters that the Israeli army targeted a residential unit on the upper floor of an apartment building in the al-Kola area of Beirut. Meanwhile, AFP reported, citing a Lebanese security source, that the residence of two members of the 'Islamic Group' in Lebanon was targeted by the Israeli army. According to this report, both members were killed in an 'Israeli drone strike.' It is unclear who the intended targets in this building were, if the reports are accurate. Meanwhile, the Associated Press quoted an unnamed Lebanese official stating that the Israeli attack on Monday left one dead and 16 injured. No comments have yet been released by the Israeli army regarding this incident. Following the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel began airstrikes against Houthi militants in Yemen and dozens of Hezbollah positions across Lebanon on Sunday. Since the October 7 attack last year by the Palestinian group Hamas on southern Israel, various groups in the region supported by the Iranian government have also begun attacks on Israel. Israel has emphasized that it will not leave the attacks by these groups unanswered. The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel's attacks on Hezbollah's leadership and the removal of Hassan Nasrallah as its secretary-general have created a vacuum in the leadership of this group and obscured its future. There are mixed reactions in the Arab world to the killing of Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah. Ali Daei: Officials are thinking about Gaza, Lebanon, and Iraq, not Iran.
