Fighting raged on two fronts on Sunday as Israel targeted what it said was a Hezbollah “command centre” in the Lebanese capital, while in Gaza, rescuers reported seventy three people killed in a single air strike.

The strikes on Hezbollah’s south Beirut stronghold came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Iran-backed group of attempting to assassinate him by targeting his residence.

It also came as Israelis marked the week-long Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

Reports have it, that Israel’s strikes on the capital hit a residential building in South Beirut’s Haret Hreik area near a mosque and a hospital.

The Israeli military said it hit the “command centre of Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters” and underground weapons facility in Beirut and that it killed three Hezbollah militants in other strikes.
