Israeli Strikes Ravage Southern Lebanon

Israeli Strikes Ravage Southern Lebanon

Funerals were held in Sidon for 13 state security officers killed when an Israeli strike hit their headquarters in Nabatieh.

The escalation comes despite the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, with Prime Minister Netanyahu vowing to continue fighting 'Iran's terrorist regime and its proxies.' UNICEF has warned that humanitarian aid is now critical as hospitals in hard-to-reach areas are being cut off from supplies.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has reportedly canceled a planned trip to Washington amid the surging violence and threats from Tehran.
