In a dramatic escalation of violence, Israel has conducted airstrikes on southern Beirut and its suburbs for the first time since the ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect. The Israeli military has targeted areas linked to Hezbollah in response to rocket fire from Lebanon, marking a significant rise in hostilities. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has criticized international leaders condemning these strikes, while the U.S. expresses its expectation for the Lebanese government to disarm militant groups. France and the UN have also voiced their concerns over the renewed conflict. As the situation escalates, Israeli officials have warned of more extensive operations in Lebanon, signaling a shift in their military strategy. The death toll from these attacks continues to rise, raising fears of a new war in the region.
