Israel’s latest daily large-scale attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 15 people in Beirut and the south, as Iran and Hezbollah launched coordinated waves of attacks on Israel, with renewed conflict on this volatile front boiling over as part of the wider war launched by the United States and Israel on Iran. 
  
A “double-tap” Israeli strike on Thursday at Beirut’s seafront area of Ramlet al-Baida, where displaced families were seeking respite from relentless bombing, killed eight people and wounded 31, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. 
 
Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr described the attack as a “marked escalation in this conflict”.
