Airstrikes pound Beirut suburbs as Israel expands attacks across Lebanon

 Israeli airstrikes heavily targeted southern suburbs of Beirut overnight, as the Israel Defense Forces confirmed they were striking Hezbollah positions. This marks the most intense bombardment of the area since tensions escalated last October, with images showing large fires and smoke rising from the site. Israel has also expanded its military actions to Tripoli in northern Lebanon, where Hamas reported the death of one of its field commanders. In response, French President Emmanuel Macron called on nations to cease arms deliveries to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
