24 Septermber, Kathmandu – Israel’s military launched airstrikes against Hezbollah sites in Lebanon on Monday, resulting in 492 deaths and forcing tens of thousands to flee, marking the country’s deadliest day in decades.

After intense cross-border exchanges, Israel urged civilians to evacuate areas where Hezbollah stores weapons.

In a video address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, “Israel’s war is not with you, it’s with Hezbollah,” condemning the group for using civilians as human shields. Families from southern Lebanon fled in packed vehicles as airstrikes continued.
