The Israeli military has issued evacuation warnings for communities outside a UN buffer zone in southern Lebanon, indicating that its military operations against the Hezbollah group could expand. Concurrently, Israeli forces struck approximately 200 Hezbollah-associated sites across the country, including weapons depots and observation posts.

The conflict has reverberated across the region, exacerbating tensions as Israel responds to an Iranian missile attack. In Lebanon, medical facilities are overwhelmed after several hospitals were hit, leading to casualties among first responders. In parallel, the situation remains dire in the West Bank, where an Israeli airstrike killed 18 individuals in the Tulkarem camp, as per Palestinian Health Ministry reports.

Amid the escalating conflict, Israeli military operations have reportedly resulted in the deaths of multiple Hezbollah militants, further alarming the international community. As the unrest persists, the region faces a potential widening of hostilities amid rising fears of a comprehensive war.
