Beirut rescue operations continue after Israeli airstrikes

Rescue operations are ongoing in central Beirut, Lebanon after deadly Israeli airstrikes on Thursday left at least 22 people dead and over a hundred injured. These raids, targeting what Israel claims are Hezbollah positions, represent the highest casualty toll in the city since late September.

An airstrike hit a building in the heart of Beirut, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Rescuers face challenges navigating narrow roads to reach victims trapped in the rubble. Civilians bear the brunt of the violence, highlighting the lack of safe spaces in Lebanon. As tensions escalate, concerns grow about a broader conflict amidst ongoing hostilities between Hamas and Israel.
