Smoke billows over Nabatieh area, amid ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, as seen from Marjayoun, near the Lebanese border with Israel, October 13, 2024. - REUTERS/Karamallah Daher: Israel expanded its targets in its war with the Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 18 people in its first strike on the Christian-majority town of Aitou in the north, the Lebanese Red Cross said.
Israel on Monday ordered residents of 25 villages to evacuate to areas north of the Awali River, which flows through southern Lebanon, as it intensifies its attacks in the region. The U.N. said Israeli tanks had burst into its base on Sunday, the latest allegations of Israeli violations against peacekeeping forces, that have been condemned by Hezbollah and by Israel’s allies.
The Israeli military took foreign journalists into southern Lebanon on Sunday and showed them a Hezbollah tunnel shaft that was less than 200 metres away from a UNIFIL position, as well as weapon stashes that the troops found.“We are actually standing in a military base of Hezbollah very close to the to the U.N.,“ Norkin said, pointing to the shaft’s trap door in an area covered by undergrowth and overlooked by a U.N. observation post.
UNIFIL has said previous Israeli attacks on a watchtower, cameras, communications equipment and lighting had limited its monitoring abilities. U.N. sources say they fear any violations of international law in the conflict will be impossible to monitor.
