Since March 2, Israel has been conducting an offensive in Lebanon that has killed nearly 3,700 people and injured more than 11,400 others as of Tuesday, according to official Lebanese figures. Israel also started a ground invasion, occupying around 2,000sq kilometres of Lebanese territory.
Last week, Israel and the Lebanese government agreed to extend a US-brokered ceasefire that began on April 17, contingent on Hezbollah halting its attacks and evacuating from an area of southern Lebanon. Lebanon and Israel agreed to the creation of “pilot zones” where the Lebanese army would take exclusive control to the “exclusion of all non-state actors.”
Israel has continued its attacks despite the ceasefire.
