Lebanon: Beirut Buildings Bear Strike Damage.

Beirut, Lebanon - December 01, 2024 Cars pass a residential building damaged by Israeli strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs, Lebanon, on December 1, 2024. Israel intensified its bombardment of Beirut and its southern suburbs in the final days before a U.S.- and France-brokered ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect on November 27, including waves of strikes on November 25 and 26 that damaged and destroyed buildings across the area. The ceasefire followed more than a year of cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated sharply after Israel expanded its military campaign in Lebanon in September 2024.
