Israel–Hezbollah Conflict: The current situation between Israel and Lebanon is worsening. For the past several days, both have been continuously carrying out air strikes on each other. However, Lebanon has suffered the most damage in this. So far 492 people have been killed in the Israeli air strike in the southern part of Lebanon, while more than 1,645 are injured. The dead also include 21 children and 39 women. Let us tell you that Benjamin Netanyahu’s army has attacked about 1100 bases of Hezbollah. Keeping this in mind, the Israeli government has declared a special home front situation i.e. emergency in the entire country till September 30.
The Israeli army (IDF) has been continuously attacking terrorist hideouts in the Bekaa region of Hezbollah since Monday morning. During this time, the Air Force completely destroyed at least 1100 hideouts. These were the places where the terrorists kept their dangerous weapons like rockets, missiles, launchers. Talking about increasing the scope of the attack, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that orders have been given to evacuate the Bekaa Valley.

10 thousand Lebanese fled towards the south
Fearing Israeli attack, 10,000 Lebanese have fled towards the south. Due to this, there is a long queue of cars on the main highway outside the port city of Sidon. Apart from this, the government has ordered the closure of schools and universities in most parts of the country. This is considered to be the biggest exodus since the war between Israel and Lebanon in 2006.
