Israel Strikes Beirut, Buildings Collapse

Israeli airstrikes in Beirut killed at least six people on Wednesday, escalating clashes with Iran-backed Hezbollah. The strikes hit both the southern suburbs of Beirut, controlled by Hezbollah, and central areas of the capital. Throughout the night, powerful strikes destroyed apartment buildings and structures, with the Israeli military issuing warnings before some attacks. The situation is escalating, with fears of further casualties and destruction. Hezbollah has not yet issued an official statement regarding the strikes. These strikes are part of the ongoing tension in the Middle East and Israel's increasing involvement with Hezbollah.
