In a dangerous escalation of tensions, the Israeli military has launched a deadly air strike in Lebanon, killing a Hamas leader and causing significant damage to a residential building in the Kola area of Beirut. This marks the first time that air strikes have reached beyond Hezbollah’s stronghold in the city.
The Israeli forces claim they are targeting Hezbollah sites in retaliation for previous attacks, including the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. At least 136 people have lost their lives in the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing conflict.
Hamas has confirmed that Fatah Sharif Abu al-Amine, the leader of Hamas in Lebanon, was killed in an air strike on his home in the Al-Bass camp in southern Lebanon. This strike comes amidst reports of attacks on Palestinian refugee camps in the area, further exacerbating the already dire situation in the region.
The violence in Lebanon has sparked fears of a wider conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with tensions reaching a boiling point. The international community is calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further bloodshed and instability in the already volatile region.
As the situation continues to unfold, the world watches with bated breath as the conflict between Israel and Lebanon shows no signs of abating.
