The situation in the Middle East is witnessing significant developments as the conflict in Gaza continues, with Israeli military operations ongoing and the humanitarian crisis worsening. This conflict directly affects neighboring countries and increases regional tensions.

Moreover, economic crises, such as the decline in trade and tourism in some countries like Yemen, Syria, and Sudan, exacerbate the economic difficulties in the region.

In contrast, there are attempts to enhance regional cooperation despite the political and economic challenges facing the countries.

On November 19, 2024, confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel continued on the fronts of Gaza and Lebanon. In Lebanon, Hezbollah launched rockets at Israeli cities in the north, resulting in injuries, including the death of a woman near the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Alarm sirens were activated in several Israeli areas such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, prompting residents to seek safe havens.

Later that day, Israeli military operations expanded in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions in areas such as Tyre and southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah, for its part, announced its targeting of Israeli cities as part of its support for Gaza in the ongoing conflict.

On the military front, Israel announced the death of several soldiers in clashes on the southern border of Lebanon, while Hezbollah continued to launch shells and rockets at Israeli targets.
