On the Foreign Scene
In a significant escalation of violence, at least four Israeli soldiers were killed and over 60 injured in a drone attack attributed to Hezbollah in north-central Israel. This incident marks one of the bloodiest days since the conflict reignited last October.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Hezbollah will not be allowed to return to border villages in southern Lebanon, as evacuation warnings expand to more areas. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for the immediate withdrawal of UN peacekeepers from Lebanon, citing their vulnerability amid ongoing hostilities.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister warned that there are no red lines in defending national interests, signaling potential retaliation against any Israeli actions.
The U.S. is deploying approximately 100 troops to operate an advanced anti-missile system in Israel, further intensifying military support amid rising tensions.
In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have reportedly killed over 300 people in recent days, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis as military operations continue. The situation remains volatile as both sides brace for further conflict.
