The regional dimension of the conflict continued to expand, as Iran struck Gulf states and Hezbollah fired on Israel and Cyprus. Iran also threatened to target Israeli embassies worldwide if Israel struck its embassy in Beirut. The Lebanese health ministry said on Wednesday night that three people had been killed and six wounded in the Israeli strikes. Israel also struck a hotel without warning in Hazmieh, south-east of Beirut, about 700 metres from the presidential palace.
