Escalating Violence in Lebanon: Key Hezbollah Figures Targeted Amid Intense Israeli Strikes

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israeli airstrikes have reportedly killed top Hezbollah spokesperson Mohammad Afif in central Beirut. This incident marks a severe intensification of military operations, with new attacks across Lebanon resulting in numerous casualties and a growing humanitarian crisis. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intensified their campaign with waves of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions, including heavy bombardments in southern Beirut and the surrounding areas. Reports indicate that at least 70 people have died in strikes in northern Gaza, alongside the deaths of rescue workers due to Israeli attacks. As the conflict deepens, discussions around a potential ceasefire are ongoing, but the prospects for peace remain uncertain as Israel vows to continue its military operations against Hezbollah.
