IDF Intensifies Strikes in Gaza and Beirut

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified military operations in both Gaza and Lebanon, urging residents in northern Gaza and parts of Beirut to evacuate. In Gaza, the IDF has expanded humanitarian zones and reopened evacuation routes, targeting a mosque in central Gaza allegedly used by Hamas as a command center, resulting in significant casualties. Concurrently, heavy airstrikes have hit Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut, following repeated IDF evacuation warnings, marking one of the most severe bombardments so far. The Israeli actions in Beirut target areas linked to the Iran-backed Hezbollah as part of their escalated operations. The ongoing conflict underscores regional tensions involving Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah, further complicated by threats from Iran and its proxies.
