As U.N. Meets, Israel Pounds Targets in Lebanon, Sending Civilians Fleeing
Briefly

Thousands fled their homes on Tuesday as Israeli warplanes pounded more Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, leading to a state of uncertainty about further Israeli actions and Hezbollah's possible responses.
The strikes targeted approximately 1,600 sites in areas controlled by Hezbollah, resulting in civilian casualties and a significant displacement of people from southern Lebanon to Beirut.
Hezbollah retaliated by firing around 300 rockets into northern Israel, maintaining a steady assault that began following Hamas's attack on southern Israel on October 8.
An Israeli strike reportedly killed senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Mohammad Qobeisi, who was responsible for rocket attacks on Haifa, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
