Escalating Violence in Lebanon: Israeli Airstrikes Lead to Nearly 500 Deaths
Recent Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have resulted in at least 492 fatalities, marking the deadliest day of conflict in nearly two decades. The strikes have prompted mass evacuations from southern Lebanon as residents flee the violence. In retaliation, Hezbollah has fired numerous rockets deep into northern Israel, triggering alarms in multiple towns. The escalating conflict has raised fears of an all-out war, with Israeli forces declaring the operation 'Northern Arrows' and targeting over 1,300 Hezbollah positions. Experts and officials warn that the situation could spiral into a wider regional crisis, as both sides continue to exchange heavy fire and tensions grow in the Middle East.
