A host of countries and the United Nations are calling for Israel to halt its military operation in Lebanon and reach a ceasefire as soon as possible. The UN warned of the impact on Lebanese civilians, while other countries expressed concern about igniting a broader regional conflict. Israel launched limited raids into southern Lebanon against Hezbollah forces and infrastructure along the border. The move aims to push Hezbollah forces away from the border so that evacuated Israelis can safely return home. The UN and other global leaders are urging all parties to protect the lives of civilians and prioritize de-escalation.
