"The Israeli attacks have already killed more than a thousand people, and displaced upward of a million, in a country of some five million. The displacement orders affected more than fourteen per cent of the country."
"The situation prior to October 7th was pretty much status quo, both internally, within the country, but also in the country's relationship with Israel."
"Even though the Iranian front of the war has received significantly more attention in the global press, the reality on the ground in Lebanon is staggering."
Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, retaliated against Israel following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. Israel's response included missile strikes and a limited ground invasion, resulting in over a thousand deaths and displacing more than a million people in Lebanon. The political situation in Lebanon was relatively stable before the October 7th attacks, but Israel's aggressive actions have raised concerns about potential border changes. The ongoing conflict has significantly impacted Lebanese society and exacerbated the existing political crisis.
