Up to 180,000 Lebanese and Syrians have crossed into the neighbouring country, which is still at war, in the last week. With hardly any airlines flying and seats at a premium, hundreds of people with means and a Schengen visa are escaping by yacht to Cyprus
The ground incursion, accompanied by air and artillery fire, consists of ‘limited, localized and targeted ground raids’ against Hezbollah targets in the border area. Lebanese troops withdrew five kilometers from the border. Israeli fighter planes also heavily bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut
The detonation of thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies and the killing of the Lebanese militia’s leaders clearly demonstrates Israel’s ability to turn the tables, thanks to its military and technological superiority, and undisputed support of the United States

The blasts come after at least 12 people were killed and some 2,800 wounded when pagers used by Hezbollah members detonated, an attack that has been blamed on Israel
The apparent coordinated attack, in the midst of an escalating war of attrition with Israel, is one of the biggest security breaches of the Lebanese militia in its four-decade history

The discovery of polio in a baby born at the beginning of the war marks the first case of the virus in the Strip in 25 years, a sign of the impacts of overcrowding, water shortage, malnutrition, and forced displacement
The mastermind behind the October 7 attacks presented ‘Fist of the Free’ a year before the offensive. The similarities between the show and what later happened have sparked debate about whether it was sending a message
A latent tension that has been simmering for decades has exploded and the escalation of violence has turned the region into a hotbed of geopolitical interest — but also, a much-needed source of learning
Negotiations resume in Doha on Thursday with the aim of defusing the promised responses from Tehran and Hezbollah to the assassinations of Hamas’ political leader and the Lebanese militia’s number two
The young men of Rmeish recently expelled suspected Hezbollah militiamen who were preparing attacks against Israel, an incident that took on a national dimension
Missiles fired by the Lebanese fundamentalist militia reached Tiberias, 25 miles from the border, where 12,000 evacuees are being put up in hotels. The displaced see only one option: open war

Israel admits nearly 100 people were killed in Saturday’s operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp, while the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health puts the number at 274, including dozens of children and women
