In the heart of Beirut, a sudden silence was broken by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed an apartment building. Nine people lost their lives, and the city was left stunned. But what triggered this tragic event? The answer lies in the long-standing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group in southern Lebanon.

For weeks, Israel has been ramping up its campaign against Hezbollah. Many people were waiting for something to happen. That moment came on Wednesday night when an apartment building near the United Nations headquarters was hit by a deadly airstrike.

This strike wasn't expected. It caught residents off guard, showing the lack of trust between Israel and Lebanon. Israel has warned about taking action against Hezbollah, but Beirut hasn't been listening.

The situation is getting worse. More people have died in Gaza, including children. Israel is also moving into southern Lebanon on the ground. This conflict has been building for months due to a cycle of revenge and retaliation that seems endless.

Amidst all this, one thing is certain: Beirut's residents are in the middle of the fight. They are tired of constant attacks and struggle to find safety.
