Tens of thousands flee southern Lebanon as Israeli strikes intensify

ai generated text

In Lebanon, the conflict has taken a toll, with the death toll from Israeli airstrikes reaching 558 since early Monday. The UN refugee agency has expressed concern about the escalation, and thousands of civilians have fled the area, with highways in southern Lebanon packed with people seeking shelter.

    United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund
    1. Yesterday was Lebanon's worst day in 18 years. This violence has to stop immediately, or the consequences will be unconscionable.
    2. We are warning today that any further escalation in this conflict will be absolutely catastrophic for all children in Lebanon.

    Matthew Saltmarsh
    UN High Commissioner for Refugees
    1. We are gravely concerned about the serious escalation in the attacks that we saw yesterday.
    2. This is a region that has already been devastated by war and a country that knows suffering all too well.
    3. Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes yesterday and overnight, and the numbers continue to grow.

    1. We must take out those weapons to pave the way for the safe return of Israel's northern communities to their homes.

    1. These missiles are placed, deployed, and focused on targets, and in perfect secrecy.

    1. From an Israeli point of view, political domestic pressure is very high and is intensifying week per week.
    2. Only, it is hard to say if Israel will be able to achieve this.
    3. Who knows if or when an Israeli ground operation will begin? And in what way would Iran react if Hezbollah was on the brink of a total defeat against Israel?
  6. US
    Sanam Vakil
    Chatham House
    1. Thirdly, with this operation in Lebanon, there is no focus on Gaza.
    2. Israel has no strategy for extracting itself from Gaza and it hasn't made it clear what it plans for the day after and it is certainly not talking about an Israeli-Palestinian process.
    3. Israel has not been able to achieve a cease-fire in Gaza, and it has not been able to achieve a peace agreement from Hezbollah because of Gaza.
    4. Israel is [once more] seeking to force Hezbollah to accept UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
