Smoke rises after an Israeli strike targeted a campus of the Lebanese University, killing two academics, in the Hadath neighbourhood of Beirut on March 12, 2026.

Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war last week when Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of the Iranian supreme leader.
