WASHINGTON, (AP):- Israel launched multiple strikes on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, after the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired missiles across the border early Monday.

The Israeli military said it intercepted a projectile that crossed the border, saying that several others fell in open areas. No injuries or damage were reported.

Hezbollah said in a statement that the strikes were carried out in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday by U.S. and Israeli strikes in a sudden and intensifying military operation against Iran.

It was the first time in more than a year that Hezbollah had claimed a strike against Israel.

Trump says more US service members ‘will likely’ be killed before conflict ends: Trump said the U.S. would “avenge” the deaths of three service members before adding: “Sadly, there will likely be more, before it ends.” The death of the three Army soldiers deployed to Kuwait mark the first known American casualties since U.S. and Israeli forces attacked Iran.

Iran’s foreign minister says Islamic Republic spent 2 decades studying US military: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Islamic Republic had spent “two decades” studying U.S. military operations in the region and have since “incorporated lessons accordingly.” “Bombings in our capital have no impact on our ability to conduct war,” Araghchi said on X. “Decentralized Mosaic Defense enables us to decide when—and how—war will end.”

CIA tracked the movements of senior Iranian leaders for months: That’s according to a person familiar with the operation who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity. The intelligence was shared with Israeli officials, and the timing of this weekend’s strikes was adjusted in part because of that information, the person said.
