Israel strikes Lebanon amid tensions

Israel strikes Lebanon amid tensions

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated sharply, with heavy strikes targeting residential areas and infrastructure in Lebanon.

UNICEF has warned that humanitarian aid is critical as hospitals in hard-to-reach areas are being cut off from supplies.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's televised address sparked international outrage for displaying a map that omitted the West Bank, signaling a hardline stance on territorial control.

The violence continues to complicate fragile regional ceasefire efforts mediated by the US and Iran.
