Claim 1: “Since late April and up until now, Israel has not targeted the Lebanese capital, limiting its military operations to the country’s southern regions.”

MISLEADING

While some sources mention strikes in Beirut and southern Lebanon, one web search result explicitly contradicts the claim that Israel has *not* targeted the Lebanese capital, as another source reports attacks hitting Beirut. The evidence shows activity in both the capital and the south, making the claim of *only* southern targeting misleading.
