Israel Escalates Conflict, Bombarding Beirut and Targeting Lebanon
Fighting has escalated between Israel and Hezbollah, with attacks extending beyond traditional strongholds. Israeli warplanes have bombarded Beirut’s southern suburbs, and strikes have now reached the north and centre of the city, including a double drone strike on a car that killed 12 people. The attacks come after Hezbollah launched drones and rockets at northern Israel. Israel is preparing to expand its incursion into southern Lebanon, issuing evacuation warnings for residents south of the Zahrani River. Military officials claim a targeted bridge was used by Hezbollah militants. These actions have displaced hundreds of thousands, with over 800,000 people forced from their homes and a death toll exceeding 630. The conflict, linked to the ongoing tensions with Iran, has heightened fears of a wider regional crisis. New strikes have been reported in Iran and Iraq, while attacks in the Persian Gulf have also increased. Global oil prices have surged despite efforts to release reserves. Israel has reported 773 deaths in Lebanon since early March.
