Israel-Lebanon Conflict Intensifies

The death toll rose on Saturday as strikes hit the towns of Jebchit and Kfarsir, while Hezbollah targeted an Israeli army base in retaliation.

UN officials warn that shelters for displaced people are 'severely overcrowded' as thousands flee the escalating violence.

Israel has rejected a ceasefire with Hezbollah ahead of planned diplomatic talks in Washington, viewing the group as the primary obstacle to peace.

The continued bloodshed threatens to derail the high-stakes peace negotiations currently taking place in Pakistan.
