Intensifying Conflict: Israel's Offensive in Beirut

Israel has escalated its military operations against Hezbollah targets in Beirut and southern Lebanon, aiming to dismantle the militia's infrastructure. The airstrikes have primarily targeted Hezbollah's headquarters and weapon stockpiles, resulting in significant casualties, including several high-ranking commanders.

The whereabouts of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah remain uncertain, though unconfirmed reports suggest he might have been a target. This would be a severe blow to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran.

The offensive has sparked a humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of residents fleeing to Beirut's city center for safety, and thousands seeking refuge in makeshift shelters across Lebanon. The United Nations has called for a ceasefire, warning of further escalation.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah has retaliated by launching rockets into northern Israel, escalating the conflict further. As the situation worsens, the international community remains on edge, monitoring the potential for a broader regional conflict.
