In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Israel has launched a new series of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanese state media reported thick clouds of smoke rising above the city as the Israeli air force targeted a Hezbollah bunker.
The strikes come after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu dismissed concerns about a regional war, instead warning that Israel’s “long arm” could strike Iran in retaliation for the attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The bombardment of Hezbollah positions in Lebanon has been ongoing for a week, resulting in over 600 casualties since Monday. In response, the Iranian-backed militia has fired dozens of rockets into Israel.
The situation in the region remains volatile, with the exchange of fire between Israel and Hezbollah showing no signs of abating. The airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut have caused widespread destruction and heightened tensions in an already turbulent region.
As the conflict continues to escalate, the international community is closely monitoring the situation and calling for a peaceful resolution to the hostilities. The ramifications of the ongoing airstrikes and rocket attacks are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the people of Lebanon, Israel, and the wider Middle East.
