Tensions Escalate: Airstrikes and International Calls for Peace in Lebanon

Israel has intensified airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting Beirut's southern suburbs and other regions, amid ongoing conflict with Hezbollah. Despite international mediation efforts, the violence continues with Lebanon's Health Ministry reporting over 2,800 deaths since early October. Meanwhile, Thailand urges Israel to prevent workers from entering military zones after casualties.

Israel's air force has intensified its airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and other regions of Lebanon, as reported by the country's state-run National News Agency on Friday. Dozens of buildings were destroyed in Dahiyeh, with no immediate reports of casualties.

Lately, international mediators have been working to halt the escalating wars in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, offering new proposals to de-escalate the regional conflict. Lebanon's Health Ministry said that since October 8, 2023, over 2,800 individuals have been killed amid the ongoing tensions with Hezbollah.

In a related development, the Thai government has advised against allowing workers to enter closed military zones, following an airstrike incident in northern Israel that claimed the lives of four Thai nationals. Thailand continues to call for regional peace and stability in the Middle East.
