**Beirut, Lebanon** – Amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, a major controversy has erupted over an alleged Hezbollah bunker beneath the Al Sahel Hospital in Beirut. Israel claimed that the bunker housed millions of dollars in cash and gold, forcing the hospital to evacuate staff and patients on Monday night.
However, a BBC team accompanying doctors on a tour of the hospital found no evidence of any hidden bunker. The doctors, who maintain the hospital has no connection to any militant group, took the BBC team through the entire building, including the first and second levels below ground.
The BBC also investigated several other incidents in the region, including:
* **The killing of a Hamas leader**: The Israeli Defense Forces claimed responsibility for the death of a top Hamas leader, allegedly responsible for the 7 October attacks.
* **Iranian missile strikes**: Verified footage from the BBC shows missiles launched from Iran towards Israel, with strikes reported near Tel Aviv.
* **Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon**: The BBC confirmed Israeli airstrikes targeting Beirut, including the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh. The strikes resulted in several deaths, including six people killed in a building in Bachoura.
* **Israeli strike in Yemen**: Footage emerged seemingly showing an Israeli strike on the Yemeni port of Hudaydah.
The events have caused shockwaves across the region, with the BBC reporting on the impact on the civilian population and the ongoing conflict between Israel and its regional adversaries.
