Event Summary

Christian religious leaders in Lebanon have urged for swift international and local action to prevent Israeli attacks on the city's Christian district. This comes after the Israeli military issued an evacuation warning for Lebanon, including the Christian quarter, and conducted airstrikes in other neighborhoods, killing eight people and wounding 32. The conflict is part of a broader escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, which began after Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel and Israel targeted Hezbollah in Beirut. The United States and Iran have also traded fire, contributing to regional tensions. The Christian leaders, including George Iskandar, Elias Kfoury, and Charbel Abdullah, emphasized the historical and cultural significance of Lebanon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and warned of a humanitarian catastrophe. The Sudanese Armed Forces previously deployed to the Christian district to prevent attacks and show Hezbollah's absence. Avichay Adraee, an Israeli military spokesperson, warned of future actions against Hezbollah activities in the Christian district.
