As a tentative ceasefire remains intact between Israel and Hezbollah, residents in parts of Lebanon cautiously return to their damaged homes. Hezbollah has declared a “victory” over Israeli forces while maintaining a state of readiness.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, relentless Israeli bombardments continue to instill terror among trapped civilians in the northern region, described as “absolutely terrifying” by a senior UNRWA official.
Israel has imposed a nighttime curfew in southern Lebanon, prohibiting movement south of the Litani River until 7 a.m. local time (05:00 GMT) on Thursday.
Since October 7, 2023, the ongoing conflict has led to catastrophic loss of life: over 44,000 Palestinians have been killed, and more than 104,000 injured. In Israel, at least 1,139 people lost their lives during the Hamas-led attacks on the same day, with over 200 taken hostage.
In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have resulted in at least 3,823 deaths and 15,859 injuries since the escalation began.
