With Israel launching a ground attack against the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon during the night, the situation in the Middle East reached a new level of escalation. The Israeli army spoke of “limited” attacks on targets near the border, describing them as posing a direct threat to communities in northern Israel. The Israeli Air Force also bombed targets near the Lebanese capital Beirut again late in the evening. The situation in Lebanon is tragic: according to Lebanese information, nearly 100 people died in the country within 24 hours. Meanwhile, missiles were flying toward Israel again. Meanwhile, the United States warned Iran of retaliatory strikes.
