Israel Launches New Airstrikes on Beirut, Expands Lebanon Operations Amidst Intensified Fighting and Casualties

Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes on Beirut, hitting multiple locations across the capital and causing significant destruction, according to the military.Lebanon's state news agency NNA reported that a building in central Beirut was struck by two missiles, while drones hit the University of Hadath in southern Beirut, killing several staff.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) expanded evacuation orders for southern Lebanon, citing Hezbollah's continued "terrorist activity" as justification for forceful action, and Hezbollah claimed its response of approximately 200 rockets, drones, and missiles was coordinated with Iran.These escalating exchanges have resulted in nearly 700 reported deaths on Lebanese soil and displaced hundreds of thousands, with diplomatic sources suggesting Israel plans to continue operations against Hezbollah even after its campaign against Iran concludes.
