Israel launched deadly airstrikes on Beirut, Lebanon, leaving at least six people dead. The attacks targeted central Beirut, including the Bachoura neighborhood near the Lebanese prime minister’s headquarters. This marked a fresh escalation in Israel’s bombing campaign in the region. The strikes are believed to be a response to assassinations carried out by Hamas and Hezbollah, which Iran claimed responsibility for. Additionally, there are fears of a wider war and increased tensions in the region. There are reports of a limited ground incursion by Israel into Lebanon, according to U.S. officials. The ongoing conflict has displaced families in northern Israel and raised concerns about a new ground offensive. Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed proxy group fighting Israel from Lebanon, has been launching rockets into northern Israel. The situation is volatile, with Israel preparing for a potential ground operation as cease-fire proposals are discussed. President Joe Biden addressed the war in the Middle East in his final UN speech amid escalating violence. The situation is evolving rapidly, with ongoing attacks and retaliation between the various factions involved. The violence has resulted in casualties and destruction in both Israel and Lebanon, with no immediate end in sight to the conflict.
