Israeli airstrikes in Beirut targeted senior Hezbollah leader Hashem Safieddine, considered the successor to the recently killed Hassan Nasrallah, and also hit Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters. The strikes have intensified amid conflicts with Hezbollah and Hamas, leading to significant casualties and regional destabilization. Israel has ordered evacuations in southern Lebanon and launched a ground invasion to weaken Hezbollah's influence. Concerns of a broader regional conflict involving Iran persist, with discussions of US-supported strikes on Iranian oil sites as retaliation for Tehran's missile attacks on Israel. The international community remains alert to the developments, with the UN and other nations urging caution and proportional responses.
