Israel escalates airstrikes in Lebanon and Gaza, causing dozens of deaths
smh.com.au — November 1, 2024, 11:01 PM UTC
Israel has intensified airstrikes in Lebanon and Gaza, resulting in at least 45 deaths in Lebanon and 25 in Gaza. The strikes in Lebanon have expanded to larger urban areas, including Baalbek, prompting mass evacuations.
The recent attacks mark a significant escalation in violence, with Israeli forces targeting areas previously less affected. In Lebanon, around 60,000 people have fled their homes due to the bombardment.
This surge in military action coincides with renewed diplomatic efforts by the Biden administration for temporary ceasefire agreements ahead of the upcoming U.S. election.
