Israel Intensifies Lebanon Offensive

Israel Intensifies Lebanon Offensive

Israel has intensified its military operations in Lebanon, conducting strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and seizing Beaufort Castle, marking its deepest incursion in over two decades.

This escalation comes despite a fragile ceasefire and has prompted Iran to threaten to halt peace talks.

The World Health Organization has raised concerns about the increasing violence targeting healthcare in Lebanon, with two hospitals in Tyre suffering extensive damage.

Hawkish voices within Israel have criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for holding back on bombing Beirut.
