On Thursday, Israel launched airstrikes in Beirut and southern Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict with Hizbullah. The Israeli military confirmed a 'precise' strike targeting a building associated with Ali al-Husseini, the head of the missile division in Hizbullah's Imam Hussein Division. This attack is the first near Beirut in weeks, despite a ceasefire announced by the U.S. on April 16, which has largely failed to contain the violence. The strikes resulted in at least six deaths, including two children, near the town of Adloun, and five more casualties in Sidon, which is outside the designated combat zone. Israeli officials stated that the military had refrained from striking Beirut for three weeks at the request of the Trump administration. However, heavy bombardments continue in southern Lebanon, with Israeli forces declaring a large area as a combat zone and urging evacuations. The situation remains tense, with ongoing exchanges of fire between Israeli troops and Hizbullah.
