Oct 21, V7N- The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated, with the latest developments in Beirut involving multiple explosions targeting Hezbollah's financial operations. Israel's military had issued a warning for civilians to vacate the area, and they subsequently attacked sites linked to the Hezbollah-run Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, an organization tied to the group's financial infrastructure. This follows ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, with the group launching rockets in support of Hamas in Gaza, further complicating the region's conflict.

Cross-border fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, which began a year ago, has seen numerous casualties on both sides. The strikes on Sunday targeted Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters and an underground weapons workshop in Beirut, with Israel killing several Hezbollah commanders. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue their operations in Gaza and Lebanon, aiming to prevent Hezbollah and Hamas from regrouping.

The conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian impacts, particularly in Gaza, where tens of thousands have died and millions have been displaced. In Lebanon, the violence has also displaced over a million people, exacerbating the region's instability. Despite efforts for ceasefire negotiations, military operations continue, with Israel also preparing for potential retaliation against Iranian missile strikes.

The situation remains volatile, with ongoing strikes, counterattacks, and heavy civilian casualties in both Gaza and Lebanon.
