Israel Intensifies Airstrikes on Beirut and Hezbollah

Israel intensified its military operations in Lebanon, conducting multiple airstrikes, including a significant strike on an 11-story building in Beirut purportedly housing Hezbollah facilities. As the conflict escalates, Lebanese officials are reviewing a U.S. truce proposal that includes a 60-day ceasefire, although previous ceasefire efforts have failed. The Iranian government expressed support for Lebanon's decisions regarding the ceasefire talks with Israel. Civilian casualties have been reported, with over 3,452 deaths in Lebanon since the conflict escalated, including many women and children, as well as multiple strikes injuring medics and civilians. Simultaneously, Hezbollah retaliated with rocket attacks on northern Israel, leading to further hostilities. The situation remains precarious as both sides continue to escalate their military actions amidst ongoing diplomatic discussions.
