Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed 13 people, including four women and a child, according to health ministry. Civilian deaths highlight the risk of intensifying conflict. Though technically under ceasefire terms, clashes between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah continue sporadically, causing significant instability in Lebanon. Civilians live under psychological stress from ongoing conflict risk. Despite regional mediation efforts, Israel-Hezbollah tensions remain unresolved. Iran's support for Hezbollah and US backing of Israel sustain power balance, making complete conflict resolution difficult. Lebanon's government needs stronger role in ensuring regional peace and stability.
