Destruction in Beirut as bombing and mass displacement continue
AI Summary
On February 20, 2026, an Israeli drone strike on the Hittin neighborhood of the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon killed at least two people. The attack, reported by Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA), targeted what the Israeli army claimed was a Hamas command center used to launch attacks violating the 2024 ceasefire. The NNA reported significant damage to a building previously used for camp security but now operating as a food aid kitchen. This strike follows a major Israeli raid on the camp in November 2025 and is one of over 10,000 attacks since the ceasefire with Hezbollah. The Israeli military maintains it is targeting Hamas, while Hamas denies having facilities in Lebanese refugee camps.
