At least 31 people, including children, have died in a wave of Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese health ministry. This escalation follows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment to intensify military operations against Hezbollah, with the Israeli military claiming to have targeted over 100 Hezbollah sites. Concurrently, Iran accused the US of violating a ceasefire by conducting strikes in southern Iran, which Iran's foreign ministry described as a 'gross violation' of the truce established nearly seven weeks ago. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 3,213 deaths in Lebanon and more than one million displaced individuals. The UN Security Council condemned a drone attack on the Barakah Nuclear Plant in the UAE, attributed to Iranian-backed militia groups from Iraq. As tensions rise, oil prices remain elevated, with Brent crude trading near $100 per barrel, reflecting market concerns about the conflict's impact on energy supplies. Negotiations for a potential peace deal between the US and Iran are ongoing, although expectations for a swift resolution remain tempered.
