The world is watching as Israel and Lebanon face new problems. Recently, Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Many people are worried about what will happen next. Let’s break this down into two important topics: why it happened and how people are affected.

1. Why Did Israel Attack Beirut?

Israel and Lebanon have had conflicts for many years. A group called Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, and Israel often do not get along. Israel says that Hezbollah sent rockets into its country. In response, Israel bombed areas in Beirut where they believe Hezbollah stores weapons.

This is the first time Israel has attacked Beirut since November 2024. Before this, there was a ceasefire, which means both sides agreed to stop fighting. But now, things are getting tense again. Israel says it is only defending itself, but Lebanon says this attack was unfair. Many world leaders are asking both sides to stay peaceful.

2. How Are People in Beirut Affected?

When bombs drop, people suffer. Many homes, buildings, and roads were destroyed in the airstrikes. Some people lost their lives, and others are injured. Families are scared and leaving their homes to find safety. Schools and businesses have closed because it is not safe.

Doctors and rescue workers are trying to help, but they do not have enough supplies. Some countries and organizations are sending aid, like food and medicine, to help people in Beirut. The United Nations has also asked both sides to stop fighting so that innocent people do not get hurt.

What Happens Next?

Right now, no one knows for sure what will happen. If both sides agree to stop fighting, things might calm down. But if attacks continue, more people will suffer. The world is watching, hoping for peace.

This is a difficult time for the people in Beirut. We hope they get the help they need and that peace comes soon.
