Tensions are escalating once again along the Israel-Lebanon border as Israeli forces issue forced evacuation orders for multiple towns and villages in southern Lebanon before launching a new wave of airstrikes, drone attacks, and artillery bombardments. Over the past 48 hours, the death toll in southern Lebanon has continued to rise amid reports of ongoing demolitions carried out by Israeli troops inside a 10-kilometer military zone declared by Israel inside Lebanese territory.
The escalation comes just days before low-level diplomatic talks between Lebanon and Israel are expected to begin in Washington, D.C., raising questions about the future of the fragile ceasefire agreement.
