Airstrikes targeted Beirut on Monday morning, marking the first strikes within the city’s limits since October 7. This follows a weekend of intense fighting across the Middle East, as Israel expanded its offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict.
On Sunday, Israeli strikes reportedly killed over 100 people and injured more than 350 in Lebanon, targeting approximately 45 Hezbollah positions. Significant losses were reported within Hezbollah’s leadership, including key commander Nabil Qaouk.
In Yemen, Israeli military operations aimed at the Houthis resulted in at least four deaths. Humanitarian agencies warn that escalating violence could worsen the dire conditions in Lebanon, where many have been displaced by the conflict.
