Israel says it will resume strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which it describes as a Hezbollah stronghold, as it carries out what multiple outlets describe as its deepest incursion into Lebanon in two decades. The planned strikes come before an emergency session of the UN Security Council later on Monday, convened in response to Israel’s expanded operations in Lebanon.
Several reports also note international reactions to the escalation. The European Union calls on Israel to stop its military escalation, while Iran, which is described as having stalled wider negotiations related to its conflict with the United States, says a Lebanon ceasefire remains a condition for any broader deal.
Overall, the accounts agree that Israel is expanding its campaign inside Lebanon, that the strike plans focus on the southern Beirut area, and that the UN Security Council is set to address the situation urgently on Monday. The reports do not provide independent details on targets or casualties in the summaries they publish.
