Israel Strikes Lebanon

The Israel Defense Forces have launched their largest offensive yet against Hezbollah targets, claiming the militant group is using civilian infrastructure and ambulances for military purposes.

Hospitals in Beirut are reportedly overwhelmed by the surge of casualties, while the UN warns of a rapidly developing food security crisis.

Despite international pressure to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire to include Lebanon, Prime Minister Netanyahu has authorized only direct talks with the Lebanese government while vowing to continue military operations.

The escalation has drawn sharp condemnation from regional neighbors and complicated the path to a broader peace deal.
