Witnesses on the ground observed large plumes of dark smoke rising from the area, indicating the intensity of the strikes. The state-run National News Agency of Lebanon (NNA) also confirmed the occurrence of fresh Israeli airstrikes in the region.

The escalation of violence in Beirut's southern suburbs has raised concerns about the impact on civilian populations and infrastructure in the area. The repeated airstrikes have led to a sense of fear and uncertainty among residents, who are facing the brunt of the conflict.

The international community has called for restraint and de-escalation in order to prevent further loss of life and damage to property. Efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israel and Lebanon have so far been elusive, with both sides remaining entrenched in their positions.

As the situation in Beirut's southern suburbs remains volatile, there are growing concerns about the humanitarian impact of the airstrikes on the civilian population. Aid organizations are working to provide assistance to those affected by the violence, but the challenges are significant given the scale of the destruction.

It is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and adhere to international humanitarian law in their conduct. The cycle of violence in the region can only be broken through dialogue, diplomacy, and a genuine commitment to peace and stability.
