Israel-Lebanon war escalates

Israel-Lebanon war escalates

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has entered a new and more deadly phase, with massive bombardments hitting Tyre, Nabatieh, and the outskirts of Beirut.

Israeli forces have advanced into key 'security zones' in southern Lebanon, claiming to have eliminated the immediate threat of a ground invasion.

In response, Hezbollah has launched rocket barrages at northern Israeli towns, including Kiryat Shmona, citing violations of a previous truce.

Lebanese officials have described the situation as a humanitarian catastrophe, with hospitals collapsing under the weight of casualties and civilian infrastructure sustaining heavy damage.
