An Israeli air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs has killed a Hezbollah official and three other people, Lebanon's health ministry says, putting further pressure on a fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese armed group. The strike also injured seven people, the health ministry said.

An Israeli airstrike in Beirut killed a member of Hezbollah and Iran’s Quds Force on Tuesday, security officials said, raising fears that the cease-fire in Lebanon may fall through.

Israel has launched a strike on Beirut for the second time in days, further testing the shaky ceasefire with Hezbollah struck four months ago.
