""This is a war again that's been ongoing since October 2023, and over the past two-and-a-half years we've documented repeated, apparently deliberate, attacks on civilians," says Human Right Watch researcher Ramzi Kaiss, speaking from Beirut."
""What's different this time around is that there's a new brazenness in the statements issued by the Israeli military, where they are simply stating that they intend to commit more war crimes ... perhaps a reflection of the state of impunity for any violations that have been committed in Lebanon, as in Gaza.""
Israel's military operations in southern Lebanon have intensified, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 people and the displacement of one-fifth of the population. The Israeli military has expanded its buffer zone, targeting infrastructure and blocking medical supplies to hospitals. Human Rights Watch has documented ongoing attacks on civilians, highlighting a concerning increase in the military's boldness regarding potential war crimes. Since the conflict began on March 2, over 1,400 individuals, including many children, have lost their lives in Lebanon.
