In the early hours of Thursday, Israel launched air strikes on Beirut, killing at least six people, marking the deadliest day in the ongoing clashes with Hezbollah. The attack has intensified the volatile region's conflict, as reported by witnesses and officials on the ground.

Amid the escalating violence, the situation remains dire, with Lebanese health officials confirming multiple casualties. The region's residents are facing sleepless nights filled with uncertainty and fear, as no warning sirens were triggered before the strikes, highlighting the anxiety gripping Beirut.

Qatar's Emir and other international figures have called for ceasefire efforts, condemning the conditions in the Middle East as a form of 'collective genocide,' urging for a peaceful resolution and the establishment of a Palestinian state as a key to lasting peace.
