Israeli warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes overnight in Beirut, specifically targeting the Choueifat neighborhood, located near the airport.

According to the Lebanese minister overseeing the crisis response, approximately 1 million people have been displaced due to the Israeli attacks.

This includes hundreds of thousands who have been forced to flee their homes since Friday.

The Lebanese health ministry reports that Israeli strikes killed 33 people across the country on Saturday, bringing the total death toll since Monday to at least 781.
