Israel conducts airstrikes on Beirut amid conflict escalation in Lebanon

Israel has intensified its military campaign against Lebanon, targeting central Beirut and the southern suburbs, resulting in the deaths of nearly 700 people and over 1,500 injuries. The attacks follow Hezbollah’s rocket strikes on Israel, which began after heightened tensions due to a U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. More than 800,000 people have been displaced, with many seeking shelter in schools and makeshift camps, as the humanitarian crisis deepens amid ongoing violence.
