Escalating Israeli Strikes Target Hezbollah in Beirut Amid Ongoing Violence in Lebanon
Israel has launched a series of airstrikes in Beirut, marking its first attacks in months. Reports confirm that Israeli forces targeted and killed top Hezbollah officials, including the group’s acting military chief, Haytham Ali Tabatabai. The strikes have resulted in multiple casualties, with five reported dead in the southern suburbs of Beirut, and further tragic news emerging from an airstrike on a Palestinian refugee camp, where 13 young boys were killed. The situation has heightened tensions along the Israel-Hezbollah border, as Israeli officials warn of potential retaliation from Hezbollah. This escalation comes nearly a year after a ceasefire was established, raising concerns about its stability in light of recent violent developments.
