BEIRUT (AP) — An airstrike has leveled an apartment building and killed three Palestinian militants in central Beirut, as Israel appeared to send a clear message that no part of Lebanon is out of bounds. The strike early Monday came after Israel wiped out much of the Hezbollah militant group’s top command, including leader Hassan Nasrallah. As recently as two weeks ago, such a strike, outside of the main areas where Hezbollah operates and next to a busy transportation hub, would have been seen as an escalation and likely followed by a long-range Hezbollah strike into Israel. But the unspoken rules of the long-running conflict, and Hezbollah’s ability to respond, are no longer clear. Israel has not claimed Monday’s strike but is widely assumed to have carried it out.
