Israel-Lebanon Conflict Intensifies

Relentless Israeli bombardments have left over 2,000 dead and 6,500 wounded in Lebanon since early March, according to the country's Health Ministry.

The United Nations has reported that Israeli tanks rammed peacekeeper vehicles in the south, causing significant damage and raising international alarms.

While Israel claims its operations are necessary to remove the threat of a Hezbollah invasion, Lebanese officials accuse the military of violating international law by targeting civilian infrastructure.

High-stakes talks between Lebanon, Israel, and the United States are scheduled for Tuesday, though fighting remains intense on the ground.
