Israeli airstrikes target central Beirut, hitting areas beyond Hezbollah strongholds to further pressure the terrorist organization.

The attack was the third strike in the Lebanese capital this week, part of a wave of amped-up Israeli military activity across the country.

The Hezbollah militant group has a strong presence in central Beirut, known as the Dahiyeh, and the strikes came as Lebanese officials are considering a U.S.-brokered cease-fire proposal.
