Israeli Airstrikes Devastate Gaza and Lebanon

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and Lebanon have intensified, with reports indicating dozens killed in a strike on a residential building in Beit Lahia, Gaza, as well as extensive damage to infrastructure in Beirut, including churches and hospitals. In Lebanon, Israeli warplanes targeted areas including the Haret Hreik neighborhood, resulting in the destruction of an eleven-story building and at least seven fatalities, while causing significant displacement and infrastructural damage. The Israeli military claims these actions target Hezbollah positions, yet many strikes have hit civilian areas, exacerbating regional tensions and humanitarian crises. Over 3,400 deaths and nearly 14,600 injuries have been reported in Lebanon since the conflict escalated, alongside severe threats to cultural heritage sites. The ongoing conflict has displaced over a million people in Lebanon and forced many Israelis to evacuate from the border regions. As the violence continues, the humanitarian situation in both regions remains critical, with calls for improved aid access in Gaza amid a blockade.
