Beirut: At least five people were killed and 24 others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Zuqaq al-Blat area in central Beirut, Lebanon's Health Ministry reported. The attack marked the third Israeli bombing in Beirut's heart within 24 hours, following strikes on the Ras Al Naba'a and Mar Elias neighborhoods. A woman was killed and 10 others injured in northern Israel on Monday evening, when a rocket fired from Lebanon struck a building in the city of Shefa-Amr. The woman, in her 50s, was inside a fortified room in a three-story building when the rocket struck the building. The remaining 10 people, who sustained minor injuries from shattering glass, were evacuated from the building, the service added. According to Anadolu Agency, Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva opened the G20 Leaders' summit in Rio de Janeiro by lamenting the growing tensions and armed conflicts plaguing the global stage and launched an initiative to end world hunger. The Brazilian leadership held the presidency of the G20, an economic bloc composed of the 20 largest economies in the world, for the first time. As host, the Brazilian leader placed world hunger and poverty as top priorities on the agenda. "I observe with sadness that the world is worse: we have the highest number of armed conflicts since World War II and the largest number of forced displacements ever recorded," said Lula. During his opening remarks, the Brazilian leader cited the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) figures on world hunger, reporting that in 2024, 733 million people still suffer from malnutrition. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed his call for an immediate and lasting cease-fire in Gaza. 'Once again, I call for an immediate and lasting cease-fire in the face of the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza,' Erdogan said in his speech at the ongoing G20 leaders' summit in Brazil. Drawing attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave besieged by Israel, Erdogan said that 96% of its population, "in other words, over 2 million people, lack access to healthy food and water." Trkiye has provided Gaza with more than 86,000 tons of humanitarian aid, the Turkish leader said, adding that Ankara's assistance to Lebanon has exceeded 1,300 tons.
