Israeli attacks have left "Beirut in flames," the country's foreign minister said on Monday morning, after a major offensive targeting Hezbollah's financial assets. Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote on X that over 15 buildings were struck and posted a photo of a large fireball rising over the skyline of Lebanon's capital.

Israeli fighter jets struck dozens of targets in Beirut and other areas of southern Lebanon overnight, including branches of a bank accused of holding funds used by Hezbollah.
