"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Flight Cancellations Surge as Security Situation Escalates - This is Beirut

More than 30 flights to and from Beirut were canceled on Tuesday, according to the Rafic Hariri International Airport website.

The cancellations included 15 outgoing and 29 incoming flights, affecting airlines such as Qatar Airways, several UAE-based carriers and Turkish Airways.

The disruptions come as Israel’s military announced it had struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon overnight, following the deadliest day of airstrikes in decades.

Hezbollah responded by attacking multiple Israeli military sites, including an explosives’ factory 60 kilometers inside Israel, and Megiddo airfield with their Fadi series of rockets.

As the Gaza war persists, Israel’s focus is now shifting to its northern border, where Hezbollah continues to launch rockets in solidarity with Hamas. Both groups are backed by Iran.
