In a recent escalation of tensions between Israel and Lebanon, Hizbollah fired projectiles into Israel and claimed to have thwarted ground incursions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning, drawing parallels to the destruction in Gaza, and was set to discuss the situation with US President Joe Biden.
Hizbollah repelled Israeli border breaches and engaged in ground combat, while Israel’s air defenses intercepted projectiles fired from Lebanon. Netanyahu urged the people of Lebanon to free themselves from Hizbollah to avoid further conflict.
Israel intensified strikes on Hizbollah strongholds, resulting in many casualties and displacements. The conflict has spread across the wider region, with Israel targeting Iran-backed groups in Lebanon and Syria.
As tensions continue to rise, civilians in Gaza and other conflict zones are enduring dire conditions, with little access to food and safety. The situation remains precarious, with ongoing military operations causing widespread devastation.
