Israel Extends Evacuation Warnings in Lebanon

In its campaign against the Iran-backed Lebanese group, Israel carried out a large strike on Beirut's southern suburbs late on Thursday that Axios cited three Israeli officials as saying targeted Hashem Safieddine in an underground bunker.

As Israel pummels southern Lebanon with airstrikes, tens of thousands of residents are fleeing their homes in fear.

Israel has sharply expanded its strikes on Lebanon in recent weeks after nearly a year of exchanging fire with Lebanon's Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah.

Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have persisted for the past two weeks, displacing approximately 1.2 million people.
