Israel Advances into Southern Lebanon

Heavy air strikes have targeted civilian infrastructure and suspected militant positions, causing widespread displacement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that military operations will continue until a 'security zone' is established.

A Red Cross paramedic was among those killed in a recent strike, prompting international condemnation.

Despite calls from Iran for an immediate ceasefire, the violence shows no signs of abating as both sides trade rocket barrages across the border.
