Germany has voiced strong concerns over Israel's expanding military operations in southern Lebanon, warning that this escalation could lead to a severe humanitarian crisis. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that continued military actions would exacerbate the already tense situation and trigger further displacement within Lebanon. Concurrently, the UK has called for an immediate halt to the offensive, with Minister Hamish Falconer stressing the unacceptable impact on civilians and urging Hezbollah to disarm. Qatar has also condemned Israel's actions, labeling them a grave escalation and a violation of international humanitarian law, while calling for global intervention. Amid these diplomatic pressures, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the capture of Beaufort Castle and instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to deepen military incursions in Lebanon, citing the elimination of Hezbollah operatives. The IDF aims to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and secure areas previously held by Hezbollah, indicating readiness to broaden operations as necessary. Netanyahu's statements reflect a commitment to restoring security in northern Israel while expanding territorial control in both Lebanon and Gaza.
