Israel Launches Airstrike on Sidon and Hezbollah Threatens Open War

The Israeli forces launched an airstrike on the Lebanese city of Sidon on Tuesday, targeting a center affiliated with an Islamic group, and authorities urged residents to evacuate specific buildings to avoid human casualties.

This escalation comes amid mutual confrontations with Hezbollah, which has resumed its military operations following the Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, threatening to engage in open war against Israel.

Estimates indicate that around 30,000 Lebanese have been displaced from southern areas due to the ongoing shelling and military operations, exacerbating the humanitarian situation in Lebanon.
