A fresh wave of Israeli air strikes hit Beirut, Lebanon, early Friday, including a powerful explosion near the city's international airport, close to Hezbollah’s stronghold in Dahieh. Reports indicate Hashem Safieddine, Hezbollah's likely successor to the recently assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, may have been a key target, though his condition remains unknown. Lebanon’s health ministry reported 37 deaths in the past 24 hours, adding to the conflict’s death toll, which now exceeds 2,000. An Israeli air strike also hit a cafe in the West Bank’s Tulkarm refugee camp, killing 18 people, including Hamas leaders.
