Israel Strikes Southern Beirut, Escalating Tensions with Hezbollah
In a significant escalation of regional tensions, Israel conducted airstrikes on southern Beirut, targeting areas believed to be Hezbollah strongholds. The strikes, which occurred early on March 28, 2025, have resulted in widespread damage and casualties, with reports indicating at least 40 deaths in Gaza over the past 24 hours due to related Israeli attacks.
The international community has expressed deep concern over the escalation, with calls for immediate ceasefire and diplomatic intervention to prevent further violence. The strikes have prompted a mass evacuation in parts of Beirut, as residents fear further attacks. Hezbollah has vowed retaliation, raising fears of a broader conflict.
The situation remains fluid, with ongoing reports of military movements and diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation. The United Nations and several world leaders have urged both sides to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully.
