Israel has intensified its military operations against Lebanon, launching airstrikes in south Beirut and its suburbs, which have resulted in at least four deaths and numerous injuries. These attacks are part of Israel's response to Hezbollah's involvement in the ongoing conflict, which began on March 2 when the group entered the war alongside its backer, Iran. The Israeli military has also targeted the Masnaa border crossing with Syria, a critical trade route, leading to its closure. The crossing is vital for Lebanese trade and civilian movement, but Israeli officials claim it is being used by Hezbollah for military purposes. Since the conflict's escalation, over 1,400 people have been killed in Lebanon, including 126 children, with many more displaced. Amidst the violence, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has called for negotiations to prevent further destruction, particularly in southern Lebanon, where many homes have been devastated by Israeli strikes.
