As our government deepens its deliberation over the deployment of troops to the Strait of Hormuz, the situation in the Middle East is heading toward an all-out war. Israel's intensity of attacks against Lebanon is increasing, and with clashes even involving the Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia, the front lines are widening further.

First, let's go to reporter Yu Deok-gi.

On the 6th local time in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, a broadcasting crew was preparing to report live from the scene of an Israeli airstrike.

The broadcast feed cuts off as an artillery shell flies in and explodes.

Due to this Israeli attack, two journalists from Al-Manar TV, a broadcaster affiliated with the pro-Iranian militant group Hezbollah, sustained serious injuries and were transported to the hospital.

After lowering the intensity of its attacks following the ceasefire agreement in last June, Israel has resumed massive strikes against Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon following the breakdown of end-of-war negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

Last Monday, at least 10 civilians, including children, were killed.

The Red Sea, an oil bypass shipping route alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, has also been engulfed in the clouds of war.

Today (the 9th), the Royal Saudi Air Force launched 32 airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels across Yemen.

The Houthi rebels also launched drone and missile attacks on southern Saudi cities, including oil facilities of the state-owned oil company Aramco, injuring at least 73 people.

The two sides, which had agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the UN in 2022, are heading toward an all-out war as the Houthis declared a blockade of Saudi ships at the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the entrance of the Red Sea last July to support Iran.

AFP reported that more than 500 people have died on both sides over the past week alone.
