The Israeli military has expanded its operations into southern Lebanon, re-capturing Beaufort Castle and ordering over 1.2 million residents to evacuate. International bodies and nations, including France and the UK, have expressed alarm, with France requesting an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss Israel’s military actions. The US had previously urged Israel against striking Beirut, while ongoing peace talks involving Israel, Iran, and the US are complicated by Iran’s insistence on a truce in Lebanon. The conflict has led to over 3,370 Lebanese deaths and 10,269 injuries, alongside 28 Israeli casualties, with Médecins Sans Frontières reporting severe civilian trauma.
