On Thursday, Israel carried out an airstrike in Beirut, killing senior Hezbollah commander Mohammed Hussein Suroor, a significant escalation in the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to continue military operations against Hezbollah with “full force” until the terrorist group ceases its rocket attacks.
Despite efforts by US and European officials to advocate a temporary halt to violence to prevent the conflict from escalating into a full-scale war, Netanyahu’s hardline stance has dimmed the prospects for a ceasefire.
