Israel strikes Beirut after Hezbollah attack, risking Iran response
Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said.

Israel notified the Trump administration before the strike, a U.S. official and two other sources with knowledge tell Axios.
