Yasmeen Altaji gives a round-up of today's headlines

This is trending. Your daily rundown of views from the Middle East and around the world brought to you by International. From Abu Dhabi, I'm Yasmin Altaji. Here are today's headlines. At least six people died and seven were injured in an overnight Israeli bombing in central Beirut, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Health. The attack struck a health center in the area of Bashura, a densely populated neighborhood. It's just minutes from caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miklatsu's headquarters and the Lebanese Parliament. G7 countries are working on a coordinated response to Iran's "unacceptable" attack on Israel, according to U.S. President Joe Biden. Mr Biden said the U.S. and its allies cautioned Israel to plan its next strikes "proportionally." He said the U.S. would not support an Israeli attack targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. And Israel has barred U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres from entering the country. Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on acts that Mr. Guterres' failure to "unequivocally" "condem Iran's attack on Israel made him persona non grata" in Israel. (upbeat music)
