Recent Israeli airstrikes in central Beirut have resulted in the death of Hezbollah spokesperson Mohammed Afif, along with multiple casualties among medics and civilians. At least 30 people have died in concurrent strikes in Gaza, raising the overall toll amidst the intensification of hostilities. Lebanese civil defense representatives have expressed horror at the scale of destruction, claiming that Israel is attempting to instill fear in the population. As the conflict escalates, Hezbollah has confirmed the deaths of several of its members and vowed to respond to the attacks. Meanwhile, Israeli military operations have reportedly expanded into Lebanon, targeting what it deems Hezbollah assets, leading to widespread damage and raising concerns about civilian safety.
