Israel has intensified its military offensive in southern Lebanon, which the Associated Press has classified as an invasion. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed additional troops and conducted numerous strikes targeting Hezbollah, including a significant operation in Beirut. Reports indicate that more than 30 Hezbollah operatives have been killed, while Israel claims to have taken control of a large buffer zone extending to the Litani River. Civilians are fleeing the region as bridges are destroyed and airstrikes continue. The international community, including Iran, has reacted sharply, with calls for ceasefires and complaints to the United Nations. Concerns grow among Lebanese citizens about the potential for a new occupation and a repeat of the violence witnessed in Gaza.
