Israel Tragets Displaced Families in Strike on Christian Town

Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon escalated on Monday with an airstrike in Aitou that killed at least 21 people, including displaced families. The strike targeted a house rented by these families, causing widespread devastation in the Christian-majority town.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue attacking Hezbollah without mercy throughout Lebanon, including Beirut. This conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties over the past year, with Israel’s military operations expanding in recent weeks.

The tension between Israel and UN peacekeepers has also intensified, with accusations of deliberate harm to UNIFIL personnel. Israel maintains the right to defend itself against Hezbollah threats, citing actions that pose a danger to Israeli security.

In response to the ongoing conflict, the U.S. government is sending troops and advanced anti-missile systems to Israel. The situation remains highly volatile, prompting the U.S. embassy in Lebanon to urge its citizens to evacuate immediately.
