Excavators have begun clearing massive debris in the southern suburbs of Beirut after fresh airstrikes by Israel Defense Forces targeted infrastructure linked to Hezbollah. The strikes come amid escalating tensions after rocket fire toward northern Israel earlier this month. Large areas of southern Beirut remain heavily damaged, while evacuation orders have displaced hundreds of thousands across Lebanon. Authorities report rising casualties and widespread destruction as families take shelter in stadiums and schools. The renewed violence highlights the growing regional fallout from the wider Middle East conflict.
