Israeli strikes on southern districts of Beirut have intensified as the conflict between Israel and Lebanon escalates. The Israeli military has targeted areas it believes to be Hezbollah strongholds, issuing warnings to civilians to evacuate the affected areas.
The Lebanese government has reported that over 1,400 people have been killed in the ongoing conflict. These strikes have also caused significant damage to infrastructure and displaced many residents in southern Beirut.
In a concerning development, five rockets were fired from southern Lebanon on Sunday night, managing to bypass Israel’s air defences and explode in the northern port city of Haifa. This incident has raised questions about the effectiveness of Israel’s defences and the ability of militants to launch attacks deep into Israeli territory.
The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to exchange fire, with no clear end in sight to the conflict. The international community has called for a ceasefire and a return to peace talks to resolve the escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
As the violence continues to escalate, the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon worsens, with many families forced to flee their homes and seek safety in overcrowded shelters. The impact of these strikes on civilian populations is devastating, and the need for a swift resolution to the conflict is more urgent than ever.
