Israel-Lebanon conflict intensifies

Israel-Lebanon conflict intensifies

The Lebanese health ministry reports that over 6,000 people have been wounded and hundreds of thousands displaced by the ongoing bombardment.

Hezbollah has responded with rocket attacks on northern Israel, targeting military bases and residential areas.

The United Nations warns that shelters for displaced persons in Lebanon are severely overcrowded, creating a massive humanitarian crisis.

While delegations from the US and Iran meet in Pakistan, the escalating violence in Lebanon remains a primary obstacle to a broader regional peace agreement.
