Israeli Air Strikes Intensify Across Lebanon, Targeting Key Areas

An Israeli airstrike on central Beirut killed at least four people and injured 33, marking the fourth such attack in a week targeting Hezbollah-controlled areas. The strike destroyed an eight-storey building in the Basta neighborhood, intensifying the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Despite US and French efforts to broker a ceasefire, hostilities have escalated, with Israeli ground troops clashing with Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon. The conflict has resulted in over 3,500 deaths in the past year, including more than 200 medics.
