Israel strikes heart of Beirut, Iranian president is defiant

On Thursday, Israel's military said it had "eliminated" Rawhi Mushtaha, the head of the Hamas government in Gaza, along with senior security officials Sameh al-Siraj and Sami Oudeh in strikes three months ago.
In Lebanon, an airstrike on the municipality building of the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil killed 15 Hezbollah members, Israel said.
Lebanon's health ministry said the death toll in the Beirut strike had climbed to nine and the Islamic Health Authority, a Hezbollah-linked civil defense group, said seven of its staff including two medics had been killed.
