An airstrike has targeted central Beirut, resulting in the destruction of an apartment building and the deaths of three Palestinian militants. This attack underscores Israel's determination to convey that no area in Lebanon is safe from its military operations, particularly in light of recent developments that have significantly weakened Hezbollah's leadership.

Hezbollah's leader has made serious allegations against Israel, accusing the nation of committing "massacres" through the use of explosive devices such as pagers and walkie-talkies. He claimed that Israel's intent was to cause mass casualties, suggesting that the goal was to kill "5,000 people in two minutes." This statement has been interpreted by some as a potential declaration of war, highlighting the escalating tensions between the two sides.
