Writing for the Guardian in Beirut.
The sound of two strikes in central Beirut, just now. The third strike in Beirut in two days after weeks of calm in the capital city.

This comes as Lebanon objects to certain provisions of Israel’s ceasefire draft.

An Israeli airstrike hit the water company in the city of Tyre, one of dozens of strikes on civilian infrastructure in south Lebanon which have rendered the region near uninhabitable.

Tyre’s Mukhtar — a municipal official — was also killed in the strike.

Israel just struck the headquarters of the Ba’ath party in Ras Al Nabaa, Central Beirut. It is the first strike in Beirut proper in over a month.

Unclear why Israel struck the Ba’ath party, whose role in the Israel-Hezbollah war has been negligible.
