Amid stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks, Israel has intensified its attacks across Lebanon and on Wednesday issued an evacuation order for all areas south of the Zahrani River — about 14% of the country. That includes Tyre, one of Lebanon's largest cities.
"It's hard to see an end in sight," says Ramzi Kaiss, researcher at Human Rights Watch, who notes that nearly 1,000 people have been killed in Lebanon since the April 16 U.S.-brokered ceasefire. "The Israeli government has repeatedly not only violated the laws of war, but continues to declare its intention to commit more atrocities … And they're able to do so because there's no restraint on the Israeli military."
