Israeli war on Lebanon killing or wounding 30 children each day The Israeli war on Lebanon is killing or wounding the equivalent of an entire classroom of children every day, a senior Unicef official said. Lebanon’s health ministry has reported that Israeli strikes have killed at least 111 children and wounded 334 since 2 March, when Israel expanded its attacks on Lebanon. The toll averages nearly 30 children killed or injured each day. "That's a classroom of children every day since the beginning of the war that's either killed or injured in Lebanon," Unicef Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban said in an interview  with Reuters on Tuesday. Israeli attacks have killed more than 900 people in Lebanon since 2 March, Lebanese data shows, while sweeping evacuation orders have forced over one million people from their homes. Among them are roughly 350,000 children.

Dahiyeh's story is not only about Hezbollah or Israel. It is about how it came to embody Lebanon’s deepest inequalities.

France envoy says its unrealistic for Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah under Israeli occupation France’s special envoy for Lebanon says it is unrealistic to expect Beirut to disarm Hezbollah while Israeli attacks continue. Speaking to France Info radio on Wednesday, Jean-Yves Le Drian said only negotiations could resolve the escalating crisis. "Israel occupied Lebanon for a very long time and failed to eradicate Hezbollah's military capacity. Therefore, they cannot now ask the Lebanese government to do that job in three days under bombardment," Le Drian said. He stressed that pressure on Lebanon’s government during ongoing air raids would not produce results and warned that diplomacy, not military escalation, remains the only viable path forward.
