Israel to carve large buffer zone into southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, defence minister says

Five bridges used by Hezbollah for reinforcements were destroyed, part of a broader escalation after Hezbollah rockets were fired in response to Israeli strikes. More than 1,000 people have been killed in Lebanon and over a million displaced, prompting fears of a humanitarian crisis, while Lebanon’s government decries the plan as collective punishment.

Israel’s Lebanon ground push fuels fears of a protracted occupation

Israel expanded its ground operations into southern Lebanon, triggering fears of a protracted occupation as hundreds of thousands are displaced. Defence minister Katz’s remarks linking refugee return to Israeli security echo Gaza-style rhetoric, while the 2024 ceasefire is cited as having left Hezbollah in the fight and the Lebanese military to take over. Human Rights Watch warns that preventing civilians from returning could amount to a war crime, and international leaders urge against a large-scale ground offensive as the conflict reshapes regional leverage and negotiations.

Tehran Quietens as War Drags On, Civilians Flee and Security Tightens

After two weeks of deadly bombardment by the United States and Israel, Tehran has grown quiet and largely empty as residents flee or stay indoors; security forces patrol at night and only pro-government demonstrations occur. The war has killed more than 1,348 civilians in Iran and displaced up to 3.2 million people, with inflation and economic distress adding to daily hardship as some cling to hope for regime change while others feel exhausted and uncertain about the future.

Ghost towns, shattered families as Lebanon endures intensified Israeli strikes

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have intensified, wiping out families like Batoul Hamdan’s in Arab Salim and turning towns such as Nabi Chit and Nabatieh into ghost towns. With a death toll of about 773 Lebanese people (over 100 children) since March 2 and thousands displaced, the conflict has escalated beyond the 2023-24 flare‑up. Israel has displaced roughly 1 million people and conducted strikes deep inside Beirut, while issuing displacement orders for southern Lebanon to aid operations against Hezbollah. The piece centers on personal tragedy and frontline testimony from residents, aid workers, and officials amid the fear of further invasions and ongoing bombardment.
