Israel said it bombed more than a dozen Hezbollah targets in Beirut on Thursday as Group of Seven nations warned against an uncontrolled cycle of escalation in the Middle East.

The air strikes targeted weapons depots, command centers and intelligence operatives, according to the Israeli Defense Forces. Nine people died in the center of the Lebanese capital after an Israeli strike on a medical site affiliated with Hezbollah, local authorities said.
