The week has kicked off with intense clashes between Israeli troops and Hizbollah fighters along the Lebanese border. Israeli air raids shook Lebanon as ground forces pushed southward, meeting strong resistance from Hizbollah fighters. Here’s a breakdown of the latest developments:
- Videos circulating on social media captured Israeli soldiers raising the flag in Maroun al-Ras village near the border.
- Hizbollah reported rocket attacks and confrontations with Israeli troops trying to advance southwards.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu urged the Lebanese population to stand against Hizbollah, warning of possible destruction.
- The fighting has mainly focused on the border area, while Israel’s air force continues strikes in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.
- Hizbollah retaliated by launching rockets into northern Israel, reaching as far as Haifa and even Tel Aviv.
- Israeli air raids expanded into Syria, with Damascus reporting civilian casualties in a targeted residential area.
- The recent bombings mark the second-largest wave of attacks after Israel ramped up its campaign late last month.
As tensions escalate and casualties rise, it’s crucial to monitor and assess the situation to promote peace and stability in the region. Stand together and create awareness to support those affected. Let’s work towards a safer and more peaceful future.
