The piece also notes Iran’s sharp rebuke, Israeli officials’ rhetoric about Lebanon’s displacement, and that since the conflict began on March 2, 2026, roughly 1.2 million people in Lebanon have been displaced and over 1,200 killed, according to Lebanese authorities.

Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted 'all of Lebanon must burn' after four IDF soldiers were killed in combat near Kfar Tebnit, including Lt. Col. Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon. The IDF said a tank was hit; an explosive drone severely injured a reserve officer and four others were lightly injured, with Israel carrying out strikes in southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah. Eighteen people have been killed in those strikes as of now. The episode occurs as a provisional US-Iran deal aims to suspend military activities, highlighting the ongoing volatility and Ben-Gvir’s volatile rhetoric.
