Israel Prepares for War in Lebanon

Recent developments in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict have seen Israel extend its military operations by warning Lebanese civilians in areas previously considered safe from the conflict to evacuate. 

This expansion was prompted by Hezbollah's rocket attacks, which have been a response to and in solidarity with the broader Israel-Hamas conflict. Israel's strategy includes targeting Hezbollah's infrastructure and military capabilities, with over 200 strikes reported across Lebanon, aiming to create a buffer zone free of immediate Hezbollah threats.

The human toll of this escalation is stark, with significant casualties and displacement within Lebanon. Since the start of intensified bombings in late September 2024, over 800 deaths have been recorded, alongside thousands injured. This conflict has not only displaced over a hundred thousand Lebanese but has also drawn international military attention, with the U.S. moving assets closer for potential evacuations or to deter further escalation. 

The situation underscores the volatile nature of the Israel-Lebanon border, reflecting deep-seated regional conflicts and the broader geopolitical tensions involving Iran and its proxies.
