Israel’s air force pounded Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh overnight, though casualty numbers are not yet known. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency says the attack early Friday morning destroyed dozens of buildings in several neighborhoods. Recently, Israel has intensified its airstrikes on the northeastern city of Baalbek and nearby villages, as well as different parts of southern Lebanon. International mediators are ramping up efforts to halt the wars in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, circulating new proposals to wind down the regional conflict. Lebanon’s Heath Ministry said more than 2,800 people have been killed and 13,000 wounded since Oct. 8, 2023. That’s when Hezbollah began firing rockets almost daily into Israel, drawing retaliation.
