SUMMARY: Israel has intensified its airstrikes in Beirut, targeting Hamas operatives and resulting in significant explosions. The U.S. Central Command head has arrived in Israel amidst the escalating conflict, which has now spread to northern Lebanon.

The violence has raised significant concerns about civilian safety and regional stability.
