Intensified Israeli Strikes Lead to Widespread Evacuations and Casualties in Lebanon

In a sharp escalation of military operations, Israel has ordered the evacuation of the entire city of Baalbek, a historic site in eastern Lebanon, following a series of devastating airstrikes. These attacks have resulted in significant destruction, with reports indicating at least 48 casualties in Baalbek alone, including families targeted in their homes. The strikes are part of a broader offensive in Lebanon and Gaza, with a death toll exceeding 110, including children, amid rising fears and tensions within displaced communities. The new leader of Hezbollah, speaking publicly for the first time, has vowed to resist Israeli aggressions, while the Israeli military continues to target areas deemed Hezbollah strongholds, further intensifying its assault across the Bekaa Valley and other regions. As war rages on, the humanitarian impact grows, leaving many migrants and local families stranded and fearful for their futures.
