Israeli air strikes have pounded the southern suburb of Dahieh in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, following warnings from the Israeli military for residents to evacuate the area. The strikes targeted buildings believed to be Hezbollah facilities, a militant group viewed as a threat by Israel.
The ongoing air strikes have resulted in the closure of four hospitals in the area, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis in the region. The Israeli military has been carrying out attacks on Beirut for more than a week, citing their mission to target Hezbollah’s leadership and infrastructure.
The violence in Beirut has heightened tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with fears that the conflict could escalate further. The international community has called for a de-escalation of the situation and a return to dialogue to prevent further bloodshed.
As the situation continues to unfold, the people of Beirut are left grappling with the devastation caused by the air strikes and the uncertain future that lies ahead. The impact of the conflict on civilian lives cannot be ignored, and the need for a peaceful resolution to the crisis is more urgent than ever.
