Escalating violence in the Middle East has sparked international alarm, with fresh reports of civilian casualties and political turmoil gripping the region. Over 216 Syrian refugees in Lebanon have died in the last 50 days amid ongoing Israeli military operations, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Lebanon's Health Ministry reports at least 3,000 fatalities since the conflict began 13 months ago.
💥 In a surprise move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replaced Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with former Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Tuesday. The leadership shakeup—announced mid-conflict—triggered protests across Israeli cities as citizens questioned the timing of the decision.
Global leaders are urging de-escalation while humanitarian organizations warn of a \"catastrophic\" refugee crisis unfolding along the Lebanon-Israel border. Stay tuned as we track developments in this fast-moving story.
