Israel launched strikes on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, after the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired missiles across the border early on Monday. The strikes on Lebanon came after the Israeli military said it intercepted a projectile that crossed the border into Israel. No injuries or damage were reported in Israel. It was the first time in more than a year that Hezbollah had claimed a strike against Israel. Hezbollah said in a statement that the strikes were carried out in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and for 'repeated Israeli aggressions.' Lebanese government officials had urged Hezbollah not to enter the fray in support of Iran, fearing another war.
