At least 15 people were killed in Damascus, according to Syrian state media. The Israeli military said it had “inflicted significant damage” to a Palestinian Islamic Jihad command center.

Plumes of smoke rose over Beirut, while airstrikes and artillery shelling inflicted heavy damage on buildings in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil.

Report says losses concentrated in commerce, tourism, hospitality and agriculture, in addition to damage to physical structures; final costs expected to be far higher
