JAKARTA - The Israeli attack killed 10 people in Beirut, Lebanon. The attack came moments before an Israeli cabinet meeting discussed a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah.

Reportedly an attack on Barbour in Mazraa district in Beirut killed three people and injured 10 people.

Meanwhile, seven people died when a four-story building in the Noweiri area in Beirut was being hit, the Lebanese health ministry said.

The Israeli military bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, 20 times in two minutes on Tuesday afternoon. The attack marks one of the most intensive military operations bombing near the Lebanese capital since the start of the war more than two months ago.

"20 terror targets in the last 120 seconds the IDF has attacked terror targets in Beirut, including administrative targets and the location of Hezbollah's money storage," Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X.

The attack comes just minutes before the Israeli cabinet is scheduled to meet to make a vote on a possible ceasefire with Hezbollah.

A large puff of smoke enveloped Beirut after a series of attacks took place in Dahiyeh, a settlement in the southern suburbs of the capital which is also Hezbollah's center of power.

The area inhabited by about 1 million people, has been largely vacated since the start of attacks almost every night there on September 27.
