Clashes Escalate: Israeli Airstrikes Kill Senior Hezbollah Commander in Beirut

An Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Tuesday resulted in the death of Ibrahim Qubaisi, a senior Hezbollah commander, escalating fears of a full-scale war in the Middle East. Qubaisi was a leading figure in Hezbollah's missile and rocket force, according to both Israeli military and Lebanese security sources.

Subsequent airstrikes targeted Hezbollah strongholds across southern Lebanon, with Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant vowing to continue the offensive. Gallant stated that Hezbollah had suffered significant losses in command, control, and military capabilities.

The escalating conflict has led to heightened tensions and fears of further destabilization in the region. Calls for diplomatic solutions are growing, with international figures urging immediate action to avert a larger crisis.
