Humanitarian impact
Over 1,400 people killed in ongoing conflict
Since March 2, Israel has conducted airstrikes across Lebanon after Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel amid the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The ongoing conflict has killed over 1,400 people and displaced more than 1.2 million since March 2. In Kfar Hatta town, an Israeli strike killed seven people, including a child and a soldier. The Israeli army also ordered forced evacuations in the town where many displaced from other regions have sought refuge.
Diplomatic plea
Lebanese President calls for negotiations with Israel
Amid the escalating violence, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has called for negotiations with Israel to save homes from destruction. He proposed talks to spare southern Lebanon from devastation similar to Gaza's. "Why don't we negotiate ... until we can at least save the homes that have not yet been destroyed?" he said in a televised address on Sunday.
