"After a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect in Lebanon in November 2024, cross-border violence did not really end. Now, nearly one million people have been forced from their homes. The UN chief said Lebanon is part of a war it did not choose, but Israel is ramping up its offensive."
"The Israeli defence minister says that if the Lebanese government will not rein in Hezbollah, Israel will. So, what happens if it does? And what does that mean for civilians?"
Following a November 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, cross-border violence persists in Lebanon with Israel seizing additional territory in the south. Nearly one million Lebanese civilians have been displaced from their homes. UN leadership characterizes Lebanon as an unwilling participant in the US-Israeli conflict against Iran. Israel's defense minister warns that if the Lebanese government fails to control Hezbollah, Israel will take unilateral action. The situation raises critical questions about potential Israeli military escalation, territorial occupation, and humanitarian consequences for Lebanese civilians caught in the conflict.
