Escalating Violence in Lebanon Amid Israeli Airstrikes

The ongoing conflict in the region has seen a significant increase in violence, with recent Israeli airstrikes resulting in high casualties across various Lebanese cities. Reports indicate that over 60 people have been killed in strikes on the Bekaa Valley, and at least 66 in Baalbek alone, marking some of the most intense days of aggression. The southern port city of Tyre has been heavily bombarded, causing it to empty out as residents flee the violence. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claims to have targeted over 150 locations in Lebanon and Gaza in a single day, further intensifying their military campaign. This brutal escalation comes amid multiple deadly strikes that have also affected other areas, including Sidon and Beirut, as the humanitarian situation grows increasingly dire for the affected populations.
