An Israeli attack hit a building in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, this Monday (25), causing a huge explosion. An alert was even issued by the Israeli Army in X before the bombing.
Some people recorded the moment of the explosion. Watch the video:
Over the weekend, Israel carried out other airstrikes in Lebanon — one of which left at least 29 people dead in the center of Beirut. Hezbollah, a group supported by Iran, also fired 250 missiles into Israeli territory on Sunday (24).
Progress of negotiations for a ceasefire
The vice-president of the Lebanese parliament, Elias Bou Saab, told Reuters on Monday (25) that “there are no longer major obstacles” to starting the implementation of a 60-day ceasefire, proposed by the United States, between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel’s cabinet will vote on a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon this Tuesday (26), according to Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman. CNN. This comes after a source told CNN that the Israeli prime minister approved the plan “in principle”.
However, there are reservations about some details, which continue to be negotiated. Multiple sources emphasized that the agreement will not be final until all issues are resolved.
Furthermore, Israel’s ambassador to the UN confirmed this Monday that negotiations for a ceasefire with Hezbollah are “advancing”, but insisted that Israel wants to maintain the possibility of attacking southern Lebanon in any agreement.
Understand conflicts in the Middle East
Israel launched a major air and ground offensive against the Hezbollah group in Lebanon in late September. Like Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad are radical groups financed by Iran, and therefore enemies of Israel.
Bombings in Lebanon have intensified in recent months, causing destruction and forcing more than a million people to leave their homes to escape the war. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has already left dozens of people dead in Lebanese territory.
At the same time, the war continues in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military is fighting Hamas and searching for hostages who were kidnapped more than a year ago during the radical group’s attack on Israeli territory on October 7, 2023. At the time, more than 1,200 people were killed and 250 kidnapped.
Since then, more than 43,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza during the Israeli offensive, which also destroyed virtually every building in the Palestinian territory.
On a third front of conflict, Israel and Iran exchanged attacks, which despite raising tension, did not evolve into an all-out war.
In addition, the Israeli Army has been carrying out bombings on Iranian-allied militia targets in Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
At the moment, truce negotiations are stalled in both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
