Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Cause Heavy Casualties

Israel has escalated its military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, resulting in heavy casualties and widespread displacement. Israeli strikes have killed hundreds, including senior Hezbollah leaders, and forced around 500,000 Lebanese to flee their homes. In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched missiles into Israel, including a ballistic missile aimed at Tel Aviv, which was intercepted. The conflict has intensified since the October 7 Hamas attacks and Israel's subsequent occupation of Gaza, causing near-daily clashes along the Israel-Lebanon border. The United States has deployed more troops to the region to deter further escalation. The situation remains volatile, with both sides showing no signs of backing down, leading to increased fears of a broader regional conflict.
