Against Hezbollah

• Israel announces ground operations targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, escalating the multi-front conflict. • Iran launches a new wave of drone and missile strikes across the Gulf, including damage to Iraq's Al-Rasheed Hotel and attacks on Kuwait and Qatar. • U.S. President Trump receives regular options to end the Iran war, per sources, amid concerns of wider regional involvement.

• Israel has expanded its ground operations in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah as the air campaign has already displaced more than one million people in the country. • The escalating military operations mark a significant expansion of the conflict beyond direct Iran-Israel exchanges and represent humanitarian consequences of unprecedented scale in the region. • The displacement crisis threatens to create a major humanitarian emergency while expanding the geographic scope of the conflict beyond the Iran-U.S. military confrontation.
