Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Lebanese citizens that Hezbollah is using them as human shields amid ongoing airstrikes, which have reportedly killed 356 people, including 24 children. Netanyahu urged civilians to evacuate their homes for safety, assuring they could return after operations conclude. The strikes targeted approximately 800 Hezbollah sites and triggered mass evacuations in southern Lebanon and northern Israel. President Joe Biden is working to de-escalate the situation as fears of a broader regional conflict escalate following this deadliest cross-border escalation since October 7.
