Unrest, Conflict and War

Four Israeli soldiers have been killed and dozens of others injured in a Hezbollah drone strike on an Israeli army base. Here is what we know about the strike.

MSF Head of Programs Simon Eccleshall has expressed concern about the 'indiscriminate nature of attack' in Lebanon and says it mirrors the conflict in Gaza. 

Israel's military says a Hezbollah drone killed four soldiers at one of its northern bases, as it expanded its bombardments of Lebanon and troops battled militants across the border.

Israeli journalist Lazar Berman describes the impact of the drone strike and how the UN is perceived in Israel.

Hezbollah drones have evaded the Israel's defence systems and attacked a military base in the north of the country.

The last repatriation flight from Lebanon has left for Australia as conflict escalates in the region.

Israel's defence forces say four soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah drone attack on a base near Binyamina. In Lebanon, the UN peacekeeping mission says Israeli tanks "forcibly entered" one of its positions. 

The attack caught the IDF by surprise as air raid alarms and defence systems remained unresponsive.

The few people remaining in Lebanon's south make the same dire prediction about Israel's bombardment and ground offensive against the militant group Hezbollah.

The comments appeared to be intended to dispel suggestions that Iran would absorb an Israeli strike without a further response, as Tehran did earlier this year.

Brisbane saw its largest protest so far, with attendees calling on the federal government to help secure a permanent ceasefire in the Middle East.

The Federal Opposition has positioned itself at odds with the United States on how to achieve a ceasefire.

Lebanon's fourth largest city, Tyre, is practically a ghost town, with locals of the besieged city saying another Gaza is unfolding.

Thousands of refugees have fled to Bangladesh after fierce fighting in neighbouring Myanmar, with human rights groups concerned over the use of forced conscription in the conflict.

The Coalition has outlined the conditions that would need to be met before it would support a ceasefire deal in the Middle East, acknowledging that its position is out of step with that of Australia's main ally, the United States. 

James Paterson says it's not "remarkable" for the Coalition to disagree with the Biden administration on their calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East. 

Hezbollah reportedly fired more than 320 projectiles at Israel during the country’s Yom Kippur holiday.

Gaza residents say Israeli forces have continued to pound Jabalia, the largest of its historic refugee camps in the north of the enclave, from the air and ground. 

Beirut today is a tale of two cities – the areas being bombed by Israel and those where life carries on nearly like normal.

The accusations come as survivors search through debris following the deadliest attack on central Beirut in more than a year of fighting.
