"Israeli airstrikes have hit across the south of Lebanon and in border villages where Israel says it's seizing territory from Lebanon to create what it calls a buffer zone where Hezbollah can't fire cross-border rockets."
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu actually crossed into that zone yesterday, wore a flak jacket, stood on Lebanese soil and said Lebanese will not be allowed to return to their homes."
"Netanyahu's defense minister was there with him as well, said the goal is to do to Lebanon what Israel did to Gaza. He said they're destroying homes so that Hezbollah cannot use them."
"The Lebanese government says Israel has already destroyed around 40,000 homes in the past 35 days."
The U.S. announced plans to block ships from Iranian ports following unsuccessful peace talks with Iran, leading to a surge in oil prices. Tensions in the Middle East are escalating, particularly in Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes continue against Hezbollah fighters. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated that Lebanon will not be allowed to return to their homes, with significant destruction reported. The Israeli government aims to create a buffer zone to prevent Hezbollah from launching attacks, resulting in the displacement of over a million people in southern Lebanon.
