Hezbollah attacked Israel on Monday to avenge the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, prompting Israeli strikes on Beirut and setting the group at odds with Lebanese leaders who want the country kept out of a regional war.
Israeli strikes on the Hezbollah-controlled southern Beirut suburbs and southern Lebanon killed 31 people, Lebanon’s health ministry reported. People fled the southern suburbs on foot and by car, clogging the roads.
