Israel Intensifies Military Operations Against Hezbollah

Israel has intensified its military operations against Hezbollah since late September, resulting in significant casualties, including the death of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and over 3,481 people in Lebanon, amidst a backdrop of escalating violence following the October 7 terror attacks by Hamas. In response, Hezbollah has launched rockets into northern Israel, killing civilians and injuring dozens, including a deadly strike in Shfaram that claimed a woman's life. Recently, falling shrapnel from intercepted missiles injured at least five people in Ramat Gan, with one in serious condition, as Israeli forces continue airstrikes across Lebanon, including a recent attack in Beirut that killed five. President Biden has called for a cease-fire, emphasizing the need to protect civilians and secure the release of hostages. The ongoing conflict has displaced over 1 million people in Lebanon, with more than 43,000 reported dead in Gaza due to Israel's counter-offensive. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to exchange fire, escalating humanitarian concerns in the region.
