Intensified Conflict: Airstrikes Hit Beirut as Israel Expands Gaza Operations

 

In the early hours of Thursday, several large airstrikes targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut, including a site near Lebanon’s only international airport. The Israeli military had issued an evacuation notice for the area, citing the presence of Hezbollah facilities.
