  • Israel's recent covert attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon have escalated tensions, with hundreds of Lebanese casualties and significant displacement.
  • Lebanon's foreign minister asserts that the U.S. is the only country capable of ending the conflict, but criticizes President Biden's response as insufficient.
  • Hezbollah launched its deepest missile strike yet into Tel Aviv, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
  • Thousands of Lebanese civilians are fleeing to safer areas, with UN agencies and local authorities struggling to provide adequate shelter and resources.
