STORYLINE:

The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on various regions in Lebanon on Thursday reached 60, with injuries rising to 81, the Lebanese Health Ministry reported.
   
Israel conducted 115 attacks across Lebanon on Thursday, the ministry noted, adding the large-scale airstrikes, which started on Monday and have been focused on the south and east of Lebanon, have now spread to include regions in the Mount Lebanon Governorate on its fourth day.
   
As of Thursday, the total death toll from the Israel-Hezbollah clashes since October 8, 2023, reached 1,540, with injuries totaling 5,410, the ministry added.
   
In an airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs earlier Thursday, at least two people were killed and 15 others injured when a residential building near al-Qaem mosque in Dahieh was hit, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
   
Since Monday, Israel has conducted extensive airstrikes across Lebanon, resulting in over 650 deaths and more than 2,000 injuries. The Israeli military reported that it has targeted over 2,000 locations during this period.

Lebanese Environment Minister Nasser Yassin noted on Wednesday that the bombardment has displaced more than 150,000 residents in the past 72 hours.
   
This sharp escalation has raised concerns about a potential full-scale conflict between Israel and Lebanon, with fears that other regional powers could also become involved.
