Israel’s recent airstrikes in eastern Lebanon have killed 40 people and injured 53, reported Lebanon’s health ministry. The attacks targeted areas around Baalbek, intensifying conflict with Hezbollah in the Beqaa Valley. Israeli forces also struck Beirut’s suburbs and an area near Lebanon’s international airport. Meanwhile, Gaza’s northern regions faced escalating bombardments as Israeli ground troops advanced into Beit Lahiya, aiming to disrupt Hamas operations. Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, urging a ceasefire and warning of the humanitarian crisis. He described scenes of "absolute despair" in Gaza's north, calling for urgent peace efforts.
