In the latest developments of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, Hezbollah reported on Sunday that it was engaged in fighting Israeli forces attempting to enter Ramiya village in southern Lebanon. This comes as a third UN peacekeeper was wounded amid the escalating conflict with the Iran-backed group. Israeli strikes have targeted the peacekeepers’ main base in southern Lebanon, leading UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Western nations to condemn the attacks.

Meanwhile, Israel continued its offensive against Gaza as at least 29 Palestinians were killed on Saturday. Israeli forces kept pushing further into the Jabalia area, where the largest refugee camps are located. International relief agencies say thousands of people are trapped in the camps. “Nobody is allowed to get in or out; anyone who tries is getting shot,” MSF project coordinator Sarah Vuylsteke said on X.
