JERUSALEM — Hundreds of Beirut residents fled their homes late on Oct 20 with multiple explosions heard across the Lebanese capital, as Israel prepared to attack sites linked to the financial operations of Lebanon's Hezbollah group and told people to leave those areas immediately.

Beirut's southern suburbs, Oct 20, 2024.JERUSALEM — Hundreds of Beirut residents fled their homes late on Oct 20 with multiple explosions heard across the Lebanese capital, as Israel prepared to attack sites linked to the financial operations of Lebanon's Hezbollah group and told people to leave those areas immediately.

Cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah erupted a year ago when the group began launching rockets in support of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. With US elections approaching, officials, diplomats and other sources in the region say Israel is seeking through military operations to try to shield its borders and ensure its rivals cannot regroup.

A 41-year-old Israeli colonel was killed, and another officer was wounded in combat in northern Gaza on Oct 20, the Israeli military said. The strike came two weeks into a major assault around Jabalia, just south of Beit Lahiya, where Israel says its troops have been trying to root out remaining Hamas fighters.
