Escalation of Conflict in Lebanon

Israel has initiated a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon, utilizing commando and paratrooper units to engage with Hezbollah, which has retaliated with missile attacks, including targeting the Mossad headquarters. Reports indicate that while Israeli forces claim to be limiting their incursion, many commentators describe the situation as an invasion. This conflict has led to significant civilian displacement in Lebanon, impacting over a million people. The international response remains divided, with President Biden expressing hope for a ceasefire while some sources suggest U.S. approval for Israel's actions.
