The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have begun targeted ground raids on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, focusing on infrastructure threatening northern Israel. Israeli troops have entered Hezbollah tunnels near the Lebanon border, according to reports. The IDF also warned residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate before strikes. The escalation follows the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Over 1,000 people have died since the conflict began, with up to a million displaced. Both US President Joe Biden and British Foreign Minister David Lammy have called for an immediate ceasefire as the violence intensifies.
