A fresh Israeli strike on Beirut has triggered an angry response from Tehran, with an Iranian lawmaker warning that Israel would soon face consequences.
The warning came hours after Israel carried out strikes in Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, in what Israeli officials described as retaliation for rocket fire toward northern Israel. The exchange has further strained an already fragile ceasefire and renewed concerns that fighting could intensify across Lebanon.
