Israel has conducted one of its most lethal military operations in Lebanon since the ceasefire in April, resulting in at least 31 fatalities and 40 injuries, as reported by Lebanon's Health Ministry. The attacks, which targeted various locations including Burj al-Shamali and Kawthariyat al-Riz, have drawn accusations from Lebanon of 'massacres' against civilians, including women and children. In response, Hezbollah has engaged Israeli troops, claiming to have successfully repelled their advance into southern Lebanon while launching drone and rocket attacks on Israeli positions. The Israeli military has expanded its operations beyond the 'Yellow Line,' aiming to eliminate threats from Hezbollah's drone capabilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the importance of these operations for securing northern Israel, as tensions escalate following a recent uptick in border attacks. The situation remains precarious as both sides continue to exchange fire, raising concerns about further civilian casualties and regional instability.
