Israel Hezbollah War Highlights: Iran preparing to launch missile attack, says US as Israel strikes Beirut
Israel Hezbollah War Live News Updates: Israel carried out two attacks on Beirut on Tuesday afternoon, striking the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital and the city's southern entrance, two security sources said.
A high-rise building was hit in the city's Jnah area.
The Israeli military said it was targeting the Lebanese capital and had carried out a "precise strike."
Meanwhile, US has indicated that Iran is preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack against Israel, warning that any such assault would have "severe" consequences for Tehran.
The warning came as Israel said it had launched a ground offensive in Lebanon to target the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah, whose leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air strike last week.
"The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel," a senior White House official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack."
The United States and other western allies stepped in to help defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack in April, which Tehran launched in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
The US official added: "A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran."
However, Israel army says not detected 'aerial threat' from Iran 'for now', adding that it was ready to 'defend and attack'.

Israel Hezbollah war: Iran’s president says “decisive response” needed after strikes on Hezbollah
Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has called for a "decisive response" following Israel's recent attacks on Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon. During a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Pezeshkian described the Israeli actions as crimes and emphasized the need for support for the Lebanese fighters.

"The claims by the United States and European countries' leaders, who promised a ceasefire in exchange for Iran's non-response to the assassination of martyr Haniyeh, were complete lies," he said.

Israel Hezbollah War: Arab world split in reactions to killing of Hezbollah chief Nasrallah
The killing of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah by Israel was met with silence from many Sunni-led states in the region, highlighting divisions between governments that have normalized ties with Israel or oppose Iran, Hezbollah's ally, and populations expressing outrage. While Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Gulf states like the UAE and Bahrain remained quiet, Lebanon's allies Syria and Iraq declared a mourning period.
Public reaction was mixed, with some grieving Nasrallah's death, especially in Oman, while others, particularly from Syria and Iraq, criticised his role in the Syrian civil war.

Israel Hezbollah War: Biden says he'll speak with Israeli leader, vowing all-out war in Middle East must be avoided
US President Joe Biden expressed his intention to engage in a dialogue with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing the necessity of preventing a full-scale conflict in the Middle East. "It has to be," Biden told reporters as he boarded Air Force One for Washington. "We really have to avoid it." However, he refrained from specifying the timing of his planned conversation with Netanyahu.
Biden's remarks come in the wake of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon that resulted in numerous casualties on Sunday. The Hezbollah militant group suffered significant losses to its leadership, including the death of its overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The White House perceives Nasrallah's demise as a substantial setback for the organisation. Simultaneously, the administration has endeavored to navigate cautiously as it strives to prevent Israel's conflict with Hamas, which, like Hezbollah, receives support from Iran, from escalating into a comprehensive regional confrontation.

Ex-rival boosts Netanyahu with return to Israel cabinet
Former Israeli minister Gideon Saar rejoined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government as a minister without portfolio. Saar's return adds four seats to Netanyahu's coalition in the Knesset, giving it a total of 68 out of 120 seats. This reduces Netanyahu's dependence on far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has threatened to destabilize the government over potential ceasefire deals with Hamas or Hezbollah.
Saar, who previously challenged Netanyahu for leadership of the Likud party, has hawkish views, supporting the annexation of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Despite joining the emergency government formed after Hamas’s October 7 attack, Saar had returned to the opposition in March. His re-entry into the government is seen as a unifying move amidst Israel's ongoing conflict with militant groups.
