Israel-Hezbollah Conflict Intensifies Amid Airstrikes

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has intensified, with Israeli forces conducting a series of airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and southern Lebanon, leading to significant destruction and casualties. At least five medics and numerous civilians have been killed as buildings, including an 11-storey structure in Chiyah, were reduced to rubble. The Israeli military states that these strikes target Hezbollah facilities, as tensions escalate following Hezbollah's support for Hamas in the Gaza conflict. Additionally, the United Nations reported injuries to peacekeepers and ongoing clashes between Israeli ground troops and Hezbollah fighters near the border. Efforts for a ceasefire seem uncertain despite diplomatic attempts by the United States. The Lebanese health ministry reports over 3,580 deaths since the escalation began in late September, with the UN confirming widespread devastation in Gaza as well.
