In the wake of intensified conflicts, Israel has escalated its military operations in South Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah with fresh airstrikes that resulted in at least 37 fatalities, including 16 members and high-ranking commanders like Ahmed Wahbi. The strikes devastated a multi-story residential building in a densely populated suburb of Beirut and caused damage to nearby facilities, including a nursery. The Israeli military justified its actions by stating they were responding to imminent threats from Hezbollah, which they accused of planning attacks on Israeli communities. Hezbollah has vowed to continue its fight against Israel until a ceasefire is established in the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The night skies over Lebanon were marked by explosions, highlighting the severity of the bombardments and the escalating tensions in the region.
