Israel Escalates Airstrikes in Lebanon, Resulting in Significant Civilian Casualties
In recent days, Israel has intensified its military operations in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah and causing severe civilian casualties. Notable incidents include the killing of a mayor during a coordination meeting for aid deliveries and numerous airstrikes across southern Beirut and other regions. Reports indicate that at least 22 people lost their lives in a single attack in central Beirut, marking it as one of the deadliest assaults on the city in over a year. The escalating violence has drawn international condemnation, with calls for investigations into potential war crimes against Lebanese first responders. As the situation deteriorates, the humanitarian crisis deepens, leaving many without essential resources and safety.
