Escalation of Conflict in Lebanon

The recent escalation of violence in Lebanon has resulted in significant casualties, with Israeli bombing raids killing almost 600 people in a single day. The conflict intensified after Hamas's attacks on October 7th, leading Hezbollah to launch missile strikes into northern Israel. The situation has created a climate of fear and tension across Lebanon, with residents feeling vulnerable to strikes that could occur anywhere. Many express disbelief in the Israeli government's claims of targeting only Hezbollah, given the widespread destruction seen in Gaza.
