BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Sept 24 –  The war over the past five days has claimed 569 lives and left 1,835 injured in Lebanon, including 50 children, said Abiad in an interview.

An Israeli air strike in Beirut left Hezbollah’s top militant dead on Tuesday as cross-border rocket offends raised prospects of all-out war in the Middle East and Lebanon said only Washington could offer a way out of the conflict.

Lebanese militant group Hezbollah earlier on Wednesday confirmed senior commander Ibrahim Qubaisi was among those killed in deadly Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut as the Israeli army announced. Israel explains that Qubaisi commanded the militia’s missile and rocket division.

The new wave of attacks on Hezbollah has raised concern that after nearly a year of combating between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza, the fight is escalating and headed to provoke more Middle East turmoil.

Britain advised its citizens to leave Lebanon and acted by relocating 700 soldiers to Cyprus to facilitate their evacuation. The United Nations Security Council only said it would convene on Wednesday to consider the ongoing fighting. “Lebanon is at the brink. People cannot allow Lebanon to become another Gaza because the people of Lebanon-the people of Israel-and the people of the world can’t afford it.

President Joe Biden addressed the UN in this regard, seeking restraint, meaning that no party would want to get entangled in a full-scale war. He said even two disagreeing parties could still have a diplomatic sentiment.

Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib described the Biden speech as weak and not promising; it was the U.S. that could make a difference in the Middle East and Lebanon. Washington has been the long-time patron and principal arms seller of Tel Aviv.

He is the key to our salvation, he said at the New York City Carnegie Endowment for International Peace meeting, referring to the United States. In Beirut, many people who had to leave their homes in the south stayed in schools and other structures.

At the Technical Institute of Bir Hassan, people voluntarily delivered water flasks, medicine, and other necessities to immigrants.

In one class, 11-month-old Matila slept on a mattress while other children in another class stood on chairs to draw on a whiteboard while waiting for something to do. Rima Ali Chahine, 50, said diapers, pastries, and milk were also provided for the children in the SAH shelter.

It’s a lot of pressure for the grownups and the children. They are burned out and stressed out. They could not sleep,” she said. According to the author, people engage in things before falling asleep that can never be done by a sleeping person, or at least they cannot sleep while engaging in them. “It’s the kids-they are experiencing it; they are living through terrible conditions.”

Currently, Special Assistant to Lebanon’s Prime Minister Bou Habib stated that there are about half a million internally displaced persons in the country. He noted that the prime minister is expected to meet with some Americans in the coming days.

A worried Middle East has just been given ten months of war over Gaza, which is far from ending. But no preventer existed to stop the United States or mediators such as Qatar and Egypt from reaching a truce with Israel and the Hezbollah-linked Hamas.

In his speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian, the country with which Israel is at war, said that before things turn from bad to worse, the international community has to ‘first settle the score in Gaza and try and manage Islamic desperation of Israel in Lebanon that poses a threat to the region and the world.’
