Hezbollah claimed to have killed and injured Israeli soldiers who crossed the Lebanese border near a UN position. This attack led to Israel deploying a fourth division to its northern border in support of “Operation Northern Arrow.” Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, stated that the group is still capable of repelling Israeli advances into Lebanon.
In response, Israel’s defense minister claimed that Hezbollah’s leadership is disintegrated following the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah. Israeli airstrikes continued in Beirut, leading to civilian casualties and displacement. The UN warned of a potential escalating conflict in Lebanon, similar to the devastation seen in Gaza.
Lebanon has been struck by over three weeks of intense Israeli attacks, resulting in over 1,400 deaths and 1.2 million displaced individuals. The situation is worsening, with calls for a ceasefire and concerns over the spiraling violence. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have detained over 30 Palestinians in the West Bank, raising further human rights concerns.
Tensions remain high in the region, with both sides engaging in military operations and facing civilian casualties. The international community is urged to intervene and prevent further escalation of the conflict. Further updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
