Israel Strikes Southern Lebanon

Israel Strikes Southern Lebanon

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has intensified, with a series of devastating Israeli strikes hitting residential and security targets in southern Lebanon.

Funerals were held on Saturday for 13 state security officers killed when their headquarters in Nabatiyeh was destroyed, sparking widespread grief and outrage.

The Lebanese health ministry reports that the total death toll since March has now surpassed 2,000, with many hospitals in 'hard-to-reach' areas cut off from essential aid.

Despite the ongoing ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, the situation in Lebanon remains volatile, with Hezbollah supporters protesting the government's decision to engage in direct talks with Israel.
