In a tragic incident on Friday, at least 12 people were killed and dozens were injured in a drone strike in a Beirut suburb, attributed to the Israeli military. According to the Israeli military, a senior Hezbollah commander was among those killed in the strike.
The strike has escalated tensions in the region and raised concerns over a potential retaliation from Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia militant group backed by Iran. The incident took place in a densely populated area, with many civilians caught in the crossfire.
The Israeli military maintains that the strike was a targeted response to threats posed by Hezbollah and necessary for national security. However, Lebanese officials have condemned the attack and called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
The international community has expressed concern over the escalating violence in the region and called for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. The United Nations has urged all parties involved to exercise restraint and seek a peaceful solution to the longstanding tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
As the situation continues to unfold, humanitarian organizations are stepping up their efforts to provide aid to the victims of the strike and ensure their safety. The incident serves as a reminder of the fragile peace in the Middle East and the urgent need for a lasting resolution to the conflicts in the region.
