Lebanon
Authorities, one of the Thursday’s attacks totally destroyed an eight-story structure in the Burj Abi Haidar neighborhood.
The health ministry of Lebanon reported that 22 persons were killed and 117 injured in Israeli airstrikes that struck Beirut neighborhoods on Thursday night.
One eight-story building was taken down by the airstrike, which was directed towards the Ras al-Nabaa and Burj Abi Haidar neighborhoods.
Thousands of people have been slain in the last two weeks by the IDF’s recurrent airstrikes and ground invasion of Lebanon, which began on October 1.
Israeli forces opened fire on two UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Thursday, inflicting serious injuries. This led to strong criticism from a number of nations, including their main ally, the United States of America.
Following reports that Israeli forces opened fire on two locations and a tower used by UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council expressed grave concern.

As a result of hundreds of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah “terror targets” in populous neighborhoods of Beirut and other parts of Lebanon, the Israeli offensive against Lebanon has gotten more intense.
Following the deaths of Hassan Nasrallah, the organization’s chief, and Hashem Saffiedine, his successor, among other significant figures, their strikes have dealt a serious blow to Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran.
Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV verified that Safa was not present in the facilities that were destroyed, but it was also stated that the attacks on Thursday were an effort to kill Wafiq Safa, a senior security official with the militant group.
Also, Hezbollah retaliated on Thursday by firing missiles at Israel, which caused air raid sirens to go off in certain areas of northern Israel. “Several of these drones were intercepted,” the Israeli military declared.
Since September, Israeli strikes have claimed the lives of over 2,169 civilians, according to Lebanon’s crisis response team.
According to Palestinian and Lebanese sources, scores of people died as a result of Israeli attacks on Thursday in the Gaza Strip and Beirut.
At least 27 people, including a child and seven women, were killed in the first hit, which targeted a school in the Gaza Strip that was providing shelter for displaced Palestinians, according to Palestinian officials. Israel keeps firing into Gaza, claiming that the targets are militants.
Later on Thursday, Israeli airstrikes on two locations in central Beirut resulted in at least 22 fatalities and 117 injuries, according to the health ministry of Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the Israeli tank fired on the U.N. peacekeeping force’s headquarters in the town of Naqoura, southern Lebanon, striking an observation tower and injuring two peacekeepers who were taken to the hospital.
According to local health authorities, over 42,000 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel’s offensive in Gaza. While they do not specify the number of fighters among them, they do report that women and children account for more than half of the deaths. Much of Gaza has been damaged by the war, and 90% of its 2.3 million residents have been forced to flee their homes, often more than once.
Approximately 1,200 people, primarily civilians, were killed and another 250 were kidnapped when terrorists headed by Hamas burst through Israel’s perimeter line and invaded army bases and farmland towns a year ago. Approximately one third of the approximately 100 detainees who they still have inside Gaza are thought to be dead.
“We need these wars to end,” stated US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Las Vegas — “We have to reach a cease-fire, both as it relates to what’s happening in Lebanon, and, of course, Gaza,” U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said to reporters in Las Vegas when they were questioned about the most recent bombings in Lebanon.
“We need these wars to end and we definitely need to de-escalate what is happening in the region, and we’re working on that,” she continued. “We are working around the clock in that regard.”
