Escalation of Violence in Lebanon Amid Ongoing Israeli Airstrikes

Tensions in Lebanon have surged as Israeli airstrikes intensify, leading to significant casualties and destruction across various regions. Reports indicate that at least 2,792 individuals have been killed and over 12,000 injured due to the ongoing bombing campaign, primarily focused on southern and eastern Lebanon, including cities like Tyre and Baalbek. Displaced communities are living in fear as airstrikes continue, with heavy civilian losses and the destruction of homes reported. The situation has left migrant workers stranded and exacerbated communal tensions, particularly in Beirut as families cope with the aftermath of attacks that have obliterated their neighborhoods. As local officials report dozens dead from recent strikes, the humanitarian crisis deepens, with calls for a truce being overshadowed by the relentless violence.
