Israeli-Lebanese military escalation amid ceasefire strain
Israel has intensified military operations in Lebanon with over 120 air strikes in a single day, killing at least 31 people, and issued forced displacement orders for towns despite an existing ceasefire agreement. The escalation threatens the fragile truce between Israel and Hezbollah, with reports of over 15 drone attacks by Hezbollah in response.
