Israel carried out deadly airstrikes on Beirut, Lebanon, resulting in at least six deaths. The airstrikes targeted central Beirut, including the Bachoura neighborhood near the Lebanese prime minister’s headquarters. The attacks mark a fresh escalation in Israel’s bombing campaign. The bombings were in response to Hamas and Hezbollah assassinations, according to Iran. The situation has led to fears of a wider war in the Middle East.

Israel is preparing for a potential ground operation inside Lebanon as cease-fire proposals are being discussed. American officials are concerned that Jerusalem is not listening to them.
The Israeli airstrikes on Beirut occurred in the early hours of Thursday, with buildings in the heart of the city being hit.
