Summary:
The Israeli military conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, following a drone attack that resulted in one death and several injuries, including a student. This escalation comes amid rising tensions, with a recent airstrike killing 13 people in Ain el Hilweh, marking a significant increase in violence since the ceasefire from last year’s Israeli-Hezbollah conflict.
Israeli forces warned civilians to evacuate targeted areas before strikes hit villages like Shehor and Deli Kifah. The strikes were further justified by Israeli operations against Hamas and assertions that they would continue against threats.
In a related incident, a car crash near a school bus injured numerous individuals, including students. Despite the grim developments, the situation in Ain el Hilweh seemed calm, although media were restricted from entering.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with over 4,000 fatalities reported in Lebanon, alongside considerable economic damage. The U.S. has pressured Lebanon regarding Hezbollah’s disarmament, amidst tensions about Israel’s military operations in the region.
