Israel's military operations in Lebanon have intensified, killing at least 31 civilians over the last 24 hours amid international efforts to reach a ceasefire. | Israeli attacks also wounded 62 people across the country on Monday, according to the country’s Health Ministry. Israel’s military struck the areas of Tayr Harfa and Chamaa on Tuesday morning, with video footage showing plumes of smoke rising above Beirut’s southern suburbs. ■ Moreover, the Israeli forces have issued forced displacement orders for several neighborhoods in southern Beirut, which it plans to target soon, ordering nearby residents to flee immediately. In a pair of posts on X, Avichay Adraee, Israel's Arabic-language spokesperson, shared a map highlighting several buildings in the southern Beirut neighborhoods of Borj El Brajneh and Tahouitet al-Ghadir, which he labeled as potential targets. ■ Over the weekend, Israel's airstrikes killed at least 29 civilians in central Beirut and dozens more across various Lebanese cities, raising concerns about the increasing civilian toll in the region.
