Israel's military killed top Iranian security official Ali Larijani in an overnight strike, and Iranian state media confirmed the military also killed Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani as he met in a combat tent with commanders of the Revolutionary Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force. Both men were key to Iran’s violent crackdown on protests in January. The government’s Dubai Media Office said “the sounds heard across parts of the city were the result of successful air defence interception operations.”
Gulf Arab nations faced more missile and drone fire Tuesday from Iran, which has been targeting regional oil infrastructure. Israel also launched new strikes on Iran and Lebanon. In Iraq, officials say drones hit the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad, where an Associated Press journalist saw a massive fire.
The U.S.-Israeli war has killed at least 1,300 people in Iran, more than 900 in Lebanon and 12 in Israel, according to officials in those countries. The U.S. military says 13 U.S. service members have been killed and about 200 wounded.
Intense Israeli strikes hit Beirut
At least two strikes hit central Beirut early Wednesday, local media reported. AP journalists heard loud booms, low-flying jets, and ambulance sirens over the capital. Videos from one impact site showed two apartments stacked above one another hollowed out in a multi-story building.
Shortly after, two strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, sending flames and smoke into the sky. No injuries were immediately reported from either strike.
2 killed in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv
Israel’s Magen David Adom medical service said two people were killed in Ramat Gan, a district east of Tel Aviv.
“We saw smoke rising from a building with extensive damage and shattered glass,” MDA paramedic Inbar Green and MDA EMT Naftali Halberstadt said. “From among the debris, we saw two unconscious casualties, with no pulse and not breathing, with severe injuries to their bodies.”
They said the medical service is continuing to search for additional casualties.
Israeli strikes kill 3 in southern Lebanon, health ministry says
The strike in the Nabatiyeh district killed three people and wounded another, Lebanon’s health ministry said early Wednesday. Rescue teams are continuing to remove debris as they search for eight missing people, the ministry said.
Israeli strikes have killed 912 people in Lebanon, including at least 111 children and 67 women, since the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel reignited on March 2 after Hezbollah fired a salvo of rockets toward northern Israel, according to the health ministry.
