Israel Expands Military Offensive to Lebanon

In response to Israel's military actions in Lebanon, protests erupted in Turkey led by socialist parties demanding the cessation of all diplomatic and economic ties with Israel. Meanwhile, many residents from northern Israel have been evacuated to hotels in Jerusalem due to ongoing threats from Hezbollah, with around 60,000 Israelis displaced for security reasons. The situation in Lebanon remains tense, with at least 700 casualties reported from Israeli bombings, while public opinion is sharply divided on Hezbollah's role, especially in Tripoli where some residents express resentment toward the group. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has firmly rejected calls for a ceasefire, maintaining that military operations will continue despite international pressure for a 21-day ceasefire. As the conflict escalates, support for Hezbollah varies significantly between different regions of Lebanon, with Beirut showing more solidarity compared to Tripoli. Many displaced Israelis express a desire to return home but show overwhelming support for the ongoing military offensive against Hezbollah.
