An Israeli airstrike hit a Hezbollah commander in Beirut, according to sources in Lebanon. The commander’s fate is unknown, and Israel has not provided details about the strike. This incident marked the second consecutive day of Israeli strikes on Hezbollah-controlled areas in Beirut.
The airstrike targeted a building in the Ghobeiry neighborhood, causing damage to the top floor. Israel has been conducting a series of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in response to rocket attacks from the Iran-backed group into Israel. The situation has raised concerns about the possibility of a full-scale war in the region.
Israeli military chief Herzi Halevi stated that attacks on Hezbollah would be intensified following the recent airstrikes. This shift in focus comes after a year of conflict with Hamas in Gaza, with Hezbollah now becoming the primary threat on Israel’s northern border.
Lebanese authorities reported that over 500 people, including women and children, were killed in Israel’s airstrikes, and thousands have been wounded or displaced. There are growing calls for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict, with UN and US officials urging all parties to work towards a peaceful resolution.
The situation in Lebanon remains tense, with the threat of further violence looming. Efforts to find a diplomatic solution and prevent further escalation are crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of civilians in the region. The international community must come together to support peace and stability in the midst of rising tensions.
