Israel conducted a large-scale bombing campaign in southern Lebanon, significantly escalating tensions in the region.
The strikes, some of the most intense since a November ceasefire, targeted Hezbollah, but also resulted in civilian casualties and widespread destruction.
Lebanon's government strongly denounced these actions as a violation of its sovereignty and a dangerous escalation of the conflict.
International observers are worried that this violence could reignite a larger war and undermine the fragile peace that was established earlier.
