The attacks complicated an already delicate moment as President Trump and Iran appeared to be edging toward finalizing a framework peace agreement.
The bombardment followed Israeli evacuation warning for the entire city, a day after Iran threatened to attack Israel again if it kept up its offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Opponents attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for halting strikes against Iran after a call with President Trump, saying that he was letting the United States make Israel’s decisions.
U.S. efforts for a truce in Lebanon appear to have stalled. Israel accused Hezbollah of firing at Israeli territory. Iran swiftly retaliated.
The conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran looms over a state that has been pummeled by military strikes but has little say in determining its own future.
A statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel did not mention a new cease-fire, but the Lebanese government said one was taking shape.
The strike was the first near the Lebanese capital since a cease-fire that has curbed fighting but not halted it. Washington is pushing for a lasting peace, hoping it will ease diplomacy with Iran.
Mass funerals for Hezbollah fighters and civilians were happening across southern Lebanon.
The pause in fighting would remove a major hindrance to the U.S.-Iran peace talks, if it holds. New talks are set for Thursday in Washington.
