Eight killed in Israeli strike on Beiruts seafront amid displacement

Here is a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:

Multiple attacks occurred in Lebanon on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of over a dozen people and injuring 31 others. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reported that eight people were killed and 31 wounded in an Israeli strike at Ramlet al-Baida’s seafront area in Beirut.

Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with displaced families seeking refuge from ongoing bombing in the area. According to Heidi Pett, reporting for Al Jazeera, witnesses said they were awoken by the sound of jets and then saw a second impact. The attack appeared to be an Israeli strike, targeting areas outside those traditionally targeted.

Lebanese health officials reported that at least seven more people were killed in attacks on southern Lebanon and other parts of the country. Three people were killed and a child injured in an Israeli attack on Aramoun, while two people were killed and six wounded in another attack on Deir Antar. Two people were also killed in an Israeli attack on a four-storey building.

Hezbollah carried out several attacks against Israeli towns and bases overnight, including firing 100 rockets into northern Israel. The attacks were coordinated with Iran, according to reports from Ramallah.

The conflict has resulted in a significant number of casualties since February 28, with the death toll now at 634. Search and rescue operations are ongoing in damaged areas.

Hezbollah also reported damage to Israeli troops in southern Lebanon and launched drones and rockets towards the city of Nahariya. The group claimed that a drone attack on an Israeli base resulted in damage to one of its radars.

The situation remains volatile, with civilians caught in the crossfire of the conflict.
