Israeli Airstrikes Kill Over 40 in Lebanon

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon on Sunday resulted in at least 41 deaths, including 23 individuals in the village of Aalmati, north of Beirut, with seven being children. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that these strikes are part of an intensified campaign against Hezbollah, which has seen over 3,130 deaths since the conflict escalated in late September. Rescuers faced harrowing scenes, sifting through rubble to recover bodies, while Hezbollah politicians denied Israeli assertions that militants were present in civilian areas. The airstrikes also targeted other regions, including Baalbek and southern Lebanon, leading to additional casualties among paramedics and civilians. With the ongoing conflict, the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen as airstrikes persist across the country, raising international concerns about civilian safety and the repercussions of the war.
