Netanyahu abruptly ends US trip as Israeli strikes hit Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut: Hindustan Times

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short his trip to the United States as Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The strikes came in response to Hezbollah’s recent attacks on Israeli territory.

Netanyahu was in the US for a meeting with President Donald Trump when the Israeli military launched the strikes on Thursday. The decision to cut short his trip was made in order to oversee the military operation and address the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.

The Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah’s headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of the militant group. The strikes reportedly caused significant damage to the building and resulted in several casualties.

Hezbollah, a Shia Islamist political party and militant group based in Lebanon, has been a long-standing adversary of Israel. The recent attacks by Hezbollah on Israeli territory have raised concerns of a potential escalation of violence in the region.

Netanyahu’s decision to cut short his trip to the US highlights the seriousness of the situation and the Israeli government’s determination to protect its citizens from threats posed by Hezbollah. The Prime Minister is expected to address the nation upon his return to Israel and provide further updates on the situation.

The Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut mark a significant escalation in tensions between the two sides and raise concerns about the potential for further violence in the region. The international community will be closely watching the developments and hoping for a swift resolution to the conflict.
