    Israel-Hezbollah war: Israeli airstrikes kill 8 in Lebanon - WATCH

    An Israeli airstrike in Lebanon has killed at least eight people and destroyed three residential buildings in Sidon, according to security sources. Emergency workers and locals are searching for survivors amid the rubble. Israel has ramped up airstrikes across Lebanon in recent weeks, claiming to target Hezbollah hideouts. However, Lebanese officials, rights groups, and residents contend that the attacks are indiscriminate. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 2,700 deaths and displaced around 1.2 million people in Lebanon. In Israel, approximately 50 soldiers and civilians have been killed, and about 60,000 residents in northern areas have been displaced. The situation remains dire as efforts continue to address the humanitarian crisis.
