Jerusalem Oct 2 (EFE).- Israeli airstrikes intensified in Beirut and Gaza on Wednesday, defying international ceasefire pleas even as Israel and Iran traded renewed threats, raising fears of a broader conflict as tensions escalate.

The Israeli army confirmed it was targeting Hezbollah "terrorist sites" in Beirut, specifically warning residents of Dahye, a southern suburb, to evacuate certain areas due to imminent airstrikes.

The Lebanese Health Ministry reported that 55 people have been killed and more than 150 injured since the start of Israel's ground offensive in Lebanon and subsequent air raids.
