Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, particularly targeting a residential building in Barja, have resulted in a rising death toll of at least 30, with ongoing rescue efforts amidst the rubble. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health confirmed that the Israeli attacks have left at least 25 others injured and many more potentially trapped beneath debris. The strikes come amidst heightened tensions in the region, following the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas over a year ago, which has seen increased violence spill into Lebanon involving Hezbollah. The Lebanese Foreign Ministry has lodged a complaint with the United Nations, condemning what it describes as continuous Israeli aggression. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza persists, with Israel facing international pressure regarding the blockade and the humanitarian situation there. This conflict has deep historical roots, exacerbated by recent escalations and military actions by both Israel and Hezbollah.
