An Israeli airstrike in Beirut has killed at least 14 people and wounded more than 60, according to Lebanese health officials. The strike Friday was the first such Israeli attack on Lebanon’s capital in months. The Israeli military says the airstrike killed Ibrahim Akil, a senior Hezbollah military official. It came shortly after Hezbollah pounded northern Israel with 140 rockets. In Gaza, Palestinian authorities said 15 people were killed overnight in multiple Israeli attacks. Gaza’s Civil Defense said an airstrike early Friday in Gaza City hit a family home, killing six people including an unknown number of children.
