Israeli airstrikes intensified in Beirut and Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, killing at least 40 people near Baalbek on Wednesday, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Fresh strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs late Wednesday and early Thursday, as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalated. Israeli forces also conducted ground incursions in Lebanon’s south, with evacuations ordered in parts of Beirut. This uptick in violence marks a sharp escalation in a year-long conflict running parallel to the Gaza war. A U.S.-led diplomatic effort to broker a 60-day ceasefire collapsed last week, shortly before Donald Trump’s re-election in the United States.
