Israel-Lebanon conflict intensifies

Israel-Lebanon conflict intensifies

Funeral ceremonies were held in Sidon for 13 members of Lebanon's State Security agency killed in a recent strike.

Israel has rejected calls for a ceasefire with Hezbollah ahead of planned talks in Washington next week, maintaining that the group remains the primary obstacle to peace.

Hezbollah has responded with rocket attacks on Israeli military bases, defying claims that its capabilities have been crippled.

The ongoing violence has led to a massive displacement crisis, with shelters in Lebanon reported to be severely overcrowded.
