The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has escalated as Israeli fighter jets conducted extensive airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting several regions including the suburbs of Beirut and the ancient city of Baalbek. Reports indicate that at least 95 people have been killed across Gaza, with the death toll in Lebanon rising significantly due to relentless bombings. Israel has destroyed or damaged nearly a quarter of the buildings in southern Lebanon and issued evacuation orders affecting tens of thousands, including in historic areas like Baalbek. Despite international calls for ceasefire talks, the violence continues, with airstrikes intensifying as casualties mount and mass evacuations take place from vulnerable towns. The situation remains dire, with fears escalating among displaced populations seeking refuge from the ongoing bombardment.
