Israel launched a ground incursion deeper into southern Lebanon and intensified airstrikes on Beirut, targeting Hezbollah's television station and issuing evacuation warnings for over 100 towns. The UN reported more than 60,000 people are now sheltering across 330 sites. At least 30,000 have been newly displaced since hostilities reignited following the killing of Iran's supreme leader. Hezbollah has fired projectiles at Israeli military bases in what it called revenge operations.
