Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has returned to Tel Aviv after a significant escalation in military actions against Hezbollah in Beirut. This decision follows unprecedented airstrikes targeting Hezbollah's command center, reportedly aiming to eliminate its leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The airstrikes, described as the most intense since the conflict began, have resulted in substantial casualties and destruction in southern Beirut, raising concerns of a broader regional conflict.

The Israeli military conducted over 40 air raids on Beirut's southern suburbs, leading to widespread devastation and a rising death toll, currently reported at 726, with thousands more injured. The Lebanese authorities have also reported a significant number of displaced persons, with 86,600 seeking shelter due to the ongoing violence. This situation has prompted heightened security measures at Israeli embassies worldwide, reflecting fears of retaliation or further escalation.

Netanyahu's abrupt return from the UN General Assembly underscores the urgency of the situation, as Israeli forces continue to engage in one of the most violent confrontations with Hezbollah in recent history. The international community is closely monitoring these developments, as the potential for escalation remains high.
