Massive strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs over the weekend, causing extensive damage and unrest. The attacks followed bombings by Israel targeting Hezbollah strongholds, reportedly resulting in the deaths of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and potentially his successor, Hashem Safieddine. Israeli military forces claimed responsibility for Nasrallah's death, with ongoing strikes disrupting rescue efforts in the Dahiyeh area. Israeli military spokespeople reported the elimination of 440 Hezbollah fighters and the destruction of 2,000 targets since the conflict's escalation began. This shift in the conflict has seen exchanges of fire extend beyond the Israel-Lebanon border, coinciding with Israel's military campaign against Hamas in Gaza. Israel's government maintains that these military operations aim to protect northern citizens threatened by Hezbollah rocket fire since early October. The bombardment has resulted in severe civilian casualties and widespread displacement, with hundreds of Lebanese dead and around 1.2 million people uprooted from their homes. A strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in Tripoli killed a Hamas member, his wife, and two children. Despite the violence, the Lebanese military has largely remained inactive against Israeli tactics, as the situation intensifies ahead of the anniversary of Hamas' attacks on Israel, prompting urgent discussions on international responses and Middle Eastern stability. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/g843RXmr

"Israel launches land, sea and air strikes on Al-Mawasi, a designated safe zone in Gaza, WAFA reports" From CNN staff "Israel launched strikes on Al-Mawasi in southern Gaza early Thursday, June 13th bombarding an area it had previously designated as a "safe zone" by land, sea and air, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA. The strikes on the coastal town, which WAFA said included navy boats firing heavy machine guns, come as a US-backed Israeli proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal appears to be in limbo, with neither side yet publicly committing to the plan. CNN has contacted the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment on the WAFA report. On Wednesday, June 12th the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Rafah, southern Gaza, said it had received information from Israeli authorities that fighting will continue in western Rafah. What we know about Al-Mawasi: In early May, the IDF ordered people in eastern Rafah to “immediately head to the expanded humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi,” which it designated as a "safe zone" as it stepped up its operations in southern Gaza. The Al-Mawasi camp was already crowded with displaced people before civilians in Rafah were ordered to move there. The United Nations has called facilities in the area unsuitable for the hundreds of thousands of Gazans uprooted by violence in Rafah and across the Gaza Strip. More than 1 million people have fled Rafah to the nearby areas of Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis in recent weeks, according to a report from Oxfam on June 4. Some 1.7 million people, more than two thirds of Gaza’s population, are now estimated to be crammed into an area of 69 square kilometers (27 square miles) — less than a fifth of the strip." https://lnkd.in/gWUwdQNp
