"The new Israeli border must be the Litani, he said, referring to the Litani River, a critical waterway that cuts through southern Lebanon, about 30km from the border with Israel."
"Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,039 people, including 118 children, across Lebanon since early March, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health."
"The United Nations and humanitarian groups say the conflict is having dire consequences on Lebanese civilians, with more than 1.2 million people forced out of their homes amid the violence."
"Intensified Israeli attacks began in early March after Hezbollah launched rockets towards Israeli territory following the start of the US and Israel's war on Iran on February 28."
Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's finance minister, has called for the annexation of southern Lebanon, asserting that the new Israeli border should be the Litani River. This statement comes as Israel intensifies military operations in Lebanon, destroying infrastructure and targeting civilian areas. The conflict escalated after Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel, prompting a significant Israeli military response. The United Nations has expressed concern over the humanitarian impact, with over 1.2 million Lebanese displaced and significant casualties reported since the beginning of the attacks.
