Explosive tensions rock the Middle East as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned residents near five buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate by 500 meters by early November 1. The IDF claims these areas are adjacent to Hezbollah facilities targeted for imminent strikes. 🌍
Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati expressed cautious optimism on October 30, telling Al Jazeera a ceasefire with Israel could materialize \"in the next few hours or days.\" Meanwhile, Lebanon’s death toll from Israeli attacks since last October has surpassed 2,850, marking one of the deadliest phases in recent cross-border conflict. 💔
The evacuation order, delivered via social media channels, underscores the race against time for civilians caught in the crossfire. Analysts warn the situation could mirror last year’s escalation, which saw global markets reel from energy supply fears. ⚠️
