The Israeli military has intensified its air campaign across Lebanon, striking key cities such as Tyre, Sidon, and the Dahiyeh district of Beirut in a stated effort to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure. These operations, occurring amidst a broader US-Israeli war against Iran, aim to expand a “buffer zone” in southern Lebanon while displacing over 667,000 people at an unprecedented pace. Hezbollah has countered with missile attacks on Israel, claiming to have destroyed armored vehicles near Khiam. International leaders, including the EU’s Kaja Kallas, have called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent Lebanon from sliding into total chaos as civilian casualties continue to mount.
