Israel Intensifies Air Strikes in Lebanon: Capital Hit in Latest Attack
Israel has escalated its air strike campaign across Lebanon, with a significant strike on Kola marking the first direct assault on Beirut’s city center. According to Lebanon’s health ministry, the attack resulted in the deaths of four individuals, while four others sustained injuries.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Palestinian militant organization, confirmed that three of its leaders were among the casualties. While the PFLP has not actively participated in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the group is believed to have taken part in the October 7 assault carried out by Hamas against Israel, which has led to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
As the situation develops, the implications of these strikes on regional stability continue to unfold.
