Israel has intensified its military offensive in Lebanon, launching more air strikes despite calls for a temporary ceasefire from key allies such as the US and the EU. The aerial bombardments by Israel have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people in Lebanon this week.
The Israeli government asserts that it is conducting precision strikes against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. However, with the conflict escalating, there are signs that Israel is gearing up for a ground assault in a bid to achieve objectives that numerous air strikes have yet to accomplish.
Israeli officials have stated that their primary goal is to push back Hezbollah forces and establish a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. This move has already prompted tens of thousands of residents to flee from the region in anticipation of potential ground operations.
The ongoing military actions by Israel in Lebanon have sparked concerns about further escalation and civilian casualties. The situation remains tense as international efforts to broker a ceasefire continue amidst the escalating violence between the two sides.
