Recent airstrikes have targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs, including an area near Lebanon’s international airport. The Israeli military issued an evacuation notice for the site, citing the presence of Hezbollah facilities. Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of casualties from these strikes.
Meanwhile, Israel has expanded its ground operation in northern Gaza to include Beit Lahiya, a town heavily impacted by the conflict. The military stated that troops have begun operations in the area based on intelligence indicating the presence of militants. Hamas has been known to regroup in areas previously targeted by Israeli forces.
Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem recently stated that the militant group is willing to engage in cease-fire negotiations once the enemy ceases its aggression. This announcement comes amidst ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, with casualties mounting on both sides.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas originated from a Palestinian militant incursion into Israel, resulting in significant casualties and abductions. Israel's military response in Gaza has led to a high death toll, with Palestinian health officials reporting a large number of civilian casualties, including women and children.
Since the outbreak of hostilities, over 3,000 people have been killed and 13,600 wounded in Lebanon, while more than 43,000 individuals have lost their lives in Gaza. The situation remains volatile, with both sides engaged in intense fighting and seeking strategic advantages.
As the conflict continues to unfold, the international community closely monitors developments in the region, hoping for a swift resolution to the violence and a lasting peace for all affected populations.
