Israel continued its airstrikes on Hezbollah-controlled areas in southern Beirut, with a focus on targeting Hezbollah facilities embedded in civilian buildings. The strikes, which have intensified over the past two weeks, coincide with ongoing U.S.-led efforts to broker a ceasefire. On Sunday evening, Israeli airstrikes demolished two apartment blocks in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a region already heavily bombarded in previous weeks. Israel's offensive against Hezbollah began in September following heightened hostilities linked to the Gaza conflict. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported a rise in casualties, with 29 people confirmed dead after Saturday’s airstrikes. The total death toll from all Israeli strikes since October 2023 has now reached 3,754. Israel's military did not comment on the specifics of Saturday's airstrike in central Beirut but confirmed that its strikes are targeting Hezbollah command centers. This escalation is part of broader Israeli efforts to combat Iran-backed Hezbollah forces operating in southern Lebanon and beyond.
