An Israeli strike on Hazmieh east of Beirut killed at least one person, Lebanon's health ministry said, the second strike on the residential Christian area in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah war.

The Israeli military said around the same time that it had "struck an IRGC Quds Force terrorist in Beirut", referring to the foreign operations arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

Media reports have identified the man as Quds Force member Mohammad Ali Kourani.

Hazmieh, which is near Lebanon's presidential palace, hosts several foreign embassies.
