The Middle East is coming closer to the brink of a regional war, a situation which the Biden administration has tried to stave off since Hamas’s deadly attacks against Israel on Oct. 7.
Growing attacks have forced thousands from their homes at the border between Lebanon and Israel, while Israeli forces continue to pummel the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
In Lebanon, the killing of a Hamas leader in Beirut is raising fears of a wider conflict at the country’s border with Israel. Many southern villages have already emptied out as clashes between Israel and Hezbollah intensify.
Israel has, in the meantime evacuated more than 80,000 people on its side of the border.
