The number of children injured by Israeli air strikes in Lebanon has significantly increased since March, with one family recounting the physical and emotional trauma inflicted on a young girl in April, as Israel affirms its unrestricted military action and no plans for withdrawal.

Israel's defense minister has announced plans to establish an expanded buffer zone in southern Lebanon, extending up to the Litani River, and has threatened to destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border, adopting a 'Rafah and Beit Hanoun model' from Gaza, raising concerns about the displacement of approximately 600,000 people. The IDF is looking to demolish south Lebanon villages and establish permanent outposts.
