The Israeli military launched fresh airstrikes on southern Lebanon on May 28, declaring areas south of the Zahrani River as combat zones following evacuation orders.

The operation intensifies Israel’s ongoing campaign in Lebanon. Despite repeated international calls for ceasefire, fighting in southern Lebanon has never truly stopped since Israeli forces re-entered the region in early March.

The strikes coincided with escalating US-Iran tensions, with multiple fronts across the Middle East deteriorating simultaneously.
