Israel’s military has confirmed that at least 14 of its soldiers have been killed and more than 650 injured since the start of its large-scale offensive in Lebanon. The campaign began after the outbreak of war in Iran, prompting Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah to launch counterattacks. According to Al Jazeera, the Israeli assault has displaced more than one million people in Lebanon and caused over two thousand civilian deaths.

Following a joint U.S.-Israel strike on Iran, Israel expanded its operations to Lebanon, targeting multiple regions including southern and central areas. Despite a 10-day ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, reports indicate that Israeli forces have continued shelling parts of southern Lebanon. Preliminary assessments by Lebanese authorities suggest around 40,000 homes have been completely or partially destroyed.

The worst damage has been recorded in Beirut’s southern suburbs and across southern Lebanese districts, where returning residents are witnessing widespread devastation after the ceasefire took effect.
