Israel fires on Lebanese capital Beirut

(2 Mar 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Beirut, Lebanon - 2 March 2026 1. Explosions and rising smoke seen from Dahiyeh area of Beirut UPSOUND car horns, yelling STORYLINE: Israel launched strikes on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, after the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired missiles across the border early Monday. Associated Press journalists in Beirut were jolted awake by a series of loud explosions that shook buildings and caused windows to shatter. Warplanes could be heard flying low overhead. The strikes on Lebanon came after the Israeli military said it intercepted a projectile that crossed the border into Israel. No injuries or damage was 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. The country has not recovered from the last Israel-Hezbollah war, which nominally ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in November 2024. Since then, Israel has continued to launch near-daily strikes in Lebanon aimed at stopping Hezbollah from regrouping.
