In a disturbing turn of events, Israeli airstrikes targeted several areas in Beirut in the early hours of Thursday, resulting in the deaths of at least six people according to Lebanese officials. The attacks included the bombing of the Bachoura neighborhood, located in the heart of the city.
The airstrikes have caused widespread panic and destruction in the Lebanese capital, with many buildings reduced to rubble and emergency services scrambling to rescue survivors. The targeted areas are densely populated, further raising concerns about civilian casualties.

The Lebanese government has condemned the airstrikes as a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability. Israel, on the other hand, has defended its actions as necessary for national security.
The situation in Beirut remains tense as residents mourn the loss of their loved ones and assess the damage caused by the airstrikes. The international community has called for restraint and de-escalation, but the situation remains volatile.
