Escalation of Israeli Airstrikes in Lebanon Amid Ongoing Conflict
Israeli forces have intensively targeted Hezbollah positions across Lebanon, particularly in Beirut and its suburbs, leading to a significant rise in casualties. Reports indicate that more than a dozen airstrikes hit the Beirut suburbs overnight, with deadly strikes on residential areas in Tyre resulting in at least seven fatalities. The Lebanese health ministry states that the death toll from these Israeli attacks has surpassed 3,000, with additional strikes reported to cause chaos and destruction throughout the region. Moreover, at least five UN peacekeepers were injured amid the bombardments. As the international community expresses concern over the humanitarian impact, the situation remains critical as Israel intensifies its military operations against Hezbollah amid stalled diplomatic efforts.
