Beirut, Mar 14: In a fresh escalation of hostilities, the Israeli army launched a series of airstrikes on Lebanon’s Bekaa region, targeting what it claimed were militant strongholds. The strikes, carried out late Thursday, sent shockwaves across the area, raising fears of further instability in the region.

Local sources reported multiple explosions, with plumes of smoke rising from the affected sites. While details on casualties remain unclear, the attacks have heightened concerns over a potential spillover of the ongoing conflict.

Israeli authorities justified the operation, stating that it was in response to threats emanating from across the border. Meanwhile, Lebanon has strongly condemned the strikes, calling them a violation of its sovereignty.

The latest developments come amid growing tensions between Israel and militant groups in the region, with cross-border skirmishes becoming increasingly frequent. Regional observers warn that the situation remains volatile, with fears of further escalation in the coming days.
