Israel adamantly rejected a 21-day ceasefire proposal in Lebanon, vowing to continue the fight against Hezbollah until victory. Despite calls from the United States and France for a halt in the fighting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to intensify efforts against the militant group. The ongoing conflict has resulted in devastating casualties on both sides, with hundreds of people killed and thousands forced to flee their homes.
The situation in Lebanon remains dire, as Israeli airstrikes target Hezbollah strongholds while the group launches rockets in retaliation. The violence shows no signs of abating, with discussions of a possible ground offensive looming. Memories of the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel have resurfaced, further fueling tensions in the region.
As the international community scrambles to address the crisis, the conflict threatens to escalate further, raising fears of a full-scale catastrophe. With Iran pledging support to Lebanon and the situation becoming increasingly precarious, the need for a swift resolution grows more urgent.
