Lebanon's War Diary: A Country on the Brink

Lebanon is on the brink of disaster. As the Israeli army launches a ground operation in southern Lebanon, the threat of war has become a harsh reality. At least 95 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, and over 1,000 since last Monday. One million people have been forced to leave their homes, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in their wake.The Israeli government assures that there will be "no long-term occupation" of Lebanon, but the truth remains unclear. Lebanon's Prime Minister has called the situation "catastrophic," as the country struggles to cope with the humanitarian crisis unfolding before its eyes. The international community is split on the issue. The United States has backed Israel's decision to launch a ground operation, but warned of the risk of "mission creep. " The United Nations has urged for a ceasefire, stressing the devastating effects an all-out war would have on both Israel and Lebanon's civilian populations.
