Israel has conducted military attacks in Lebanon that killed three people, according to Al Jazeera. The strikes mark another escalation in the region's ongoing tensions. Israeli authorities have also issued new orders requiring more Lebanese civilians to leave their homes.
The attacks come as Israel and Lebanese groups continue a cycle of strikes and counterstrikes. These groups have launched rockets across the border into Israel multiple times in recent months. Both sides say they are responding to the other's actions.
Ordinary families in southern Lebanon are most affected by the displacement orders. They are being told to leave their homes with little notice and unclear plans for when they can return. Aid groups say the evacuations are making it harder to deliver food and medical supplies to people who stay behind.
Regional governments and the United Nations are watching the situation closely. International officials have called for both sides to reduce the violence and return to talks. The next few weeks will show whether either Israel or Lebanese groups take steps toward stopping the cycle of attacks.
