The recent Israeli airstrikes have had devastating impacts on both Lebanon and Gaza, resulting in significant casualties and destruction. In Beirut, an Israeli raid targeted Hezbollah leaders, leading to the death of 37 individuals, including children and women. Meanwhile, in Gaza, an Israeli strike on a school housing displaced persons resulted in the deaths of 19, including 13 children. These events highlight the ongoing conflict and its toll on civilian populations.
- The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported on Saturday that the death toll from the Israeli raid in Beirut has risen to 37, with ongoing efforts to remove rubble and search for missing individuals. The raid targeted a meeting of Hezbollah's leadership, resulting in the deaths of key commanders and many fighters. Hezbollah confirmed the deaths of Ibrahim Aqil and Ahmed Wahbi, both significant figures in the organization.
- In Gaza, the Israeli military justified its strike on the school by claiming it was targeting Hamas operatives. However, the attack has raised serious concerns about civilian safety, as schools have become shelters for those displaced by the ongoing conflict. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with a majority of the population displaced since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7.
