  • Story Text:A dense cloud of smoke was seen rising over the hilly frontier in southern Lebanon from northern Israel on Sunday (June 16).
    Despite growing international pressure for a ceasefire, an agreement to halt the fighting still appears distant, more than eight months since the start of the war in the Palestinian enclave.
    Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon opened a second front against Israel shortly after Hamas' October 7 assault sparked the war in Gaza.
    Fighting across the Israel-Lebanon border is now threatening to spiral into a wider conflict.
    Tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the border.
