Summary
The ceasefire in the Middle East has collapsed following continued Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Significant casualties have been reported in Lebanon, with Israeli strikes targeting key areas, including the Dahia suburb of Southern Beirut. The ongoing violence has raised concerns about the humanitarian impact on civilians and the potential for further escalation in the region.
Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted maritime traffic, with reports indicating that no tankers are allowed to pass through. This action has been described as a violation of international norms and raises fears of a humanitarian crisis in Kuwait, where vital water desalination plants have been targeted.
