Intensifying Israeli airstrikes have rocked Beirut and other parts of Lebanon overnight, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. Smoke fills the skies following heavy bombardments targeting Hezbollah strongholds, particularly in the southern suburbs of the capital.
Hezbollah has responded with rocket attacks against Israeli targets, including the city of Haifa. This exchange follows reports of a repelled Israeli infiltration attempt on the Lebanese border.
Lebanese officials are calling for international pressure on Israel to secure a ceasefire. Fears of widespread civilian casualties are mounting, with some reports suggesting the situation could escalate to a level similar to the devastating conflict in Gaza last year.
Humanitarian concerns are rising, with reports of overwhelmed emergency services and vulnerable Palestinian refugees caught in the crossfire.
