Nearly 700 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Hezbollah targets. This information has been provided by the Lebanese Ministry of Health. The Israeli military claims it is focused on Hezbollah’s military capabilities and senior commanders, but the rising civilian death toll has drawn international attention. The fighting has forced more than 200,000 people to flee their homes in Lebanon, according to the International Organization for Migration. After the war between Israel and Hamas broke out on October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, and Hezbollah began to fire rockets in support. Since then, Lebanon has reported 1,540 deaths in the country.
Israeli officials have issued dire warnings, threatening to create a Gaza-like disaster in Lebanon if Hezbollah continues its attacks. The comments raised concerns that the devastation in Gaza could be repeated in Lebanon, potentially further exacerbating the conflict.
Diplomatic efforts to address the crisis are ongoing. U.K. The Lebanese prime minister met with his Lebanese counterpart Najib Mikati at the United Nations General Assembly to express condolences over the civilian deaths and call for a ceasefire and dialogue to resolve the issue. The battle has reached an international level. A missile launched from Yemen towards Israel was successfully destroyed by the Israeli Arrow air defense system.
