Israeli forces have carried out artillery shelling, air strikes, and demolitions across southern Lebanon and parts of Syria, even as US-backed diplomatic efforts continue to seek a ceasefire. In Syria, troops shelled a hilltop near Beit Jinn in the western Damascus countryside and raided a village in the Quneitra region, part of a broader Israeli campaign that has included hundreds of strikes since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government in December 2024. Lebanon's health ministry reports 4,350 people killed and over 12,000 wounded since March 2, with analysts and Lebanese officials accusing Washington of failing to press Israel to honour a June framework agreement that was meant to bring about a phased Israeli withdrawal in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarming of Hezbollah.
