Conflict in the Middle East continues amid calls for de-escalation. According to reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Tuesday, more than 216 Syrian refugees in Lebanon have been killed over the past 50 days amid Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
The ongoing violence has reportedly claimed at least 3,000 lives in Lebanon over the past 13 months, as stated by the Health Ministry on Monday. The escalating conflict has raised international concerns, with appeals for all parties to seek a peaceful resolution.
In a significant political development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, appointing Israel Katz to lead military operations. The decision has sparked protests across Israel, reflecting domestic unrest over the government’s handling of the situation.
