Deadly strike on central Beirut after Israel, Iran trade threats

13 Sept 10:43 Key points summarised by AI

Israeli forces launched deadly air raids on central Beirut, hitting a Hezbollah facility and killing at least six, in retaliation for eight Israeli ground troops killed near the Lebanese border.
This escalation follows Iran's significant missile attack on Israel, prompting both nations to issue strong threats of retaliation, with Iran vowing a "stronger" response if Israel counterattacks.
The intensifying conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands in Lebanon, raised global alarm, and driven Israel's objective to secure its border, as international bodies urge de-escalation and a diplomatic solution.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
