Israel has confirmed that its airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs killed a senior Hezbollah commander, contributing to a rising death toll in Lebanon. According to the Lebanese health ministry, at least 550 people, including 50 children, have died since Monday's escalation, which is the deadliest since the civil war ended in 1990. Thousands are fleeing southern Lebanon, with makeshift shelters being established in closed schools. Israel aims to eliminate the threat from Hezbollah while the group claims it is resisting Israeli aggression and supporting Palestinians in Gaza, heightening fears of regional conflict.
