Introduction

Israel and Hezbollah are still fighting in southern Lebanon. The USA tried to stop the war, but the area is not safe.

Main Body

Israel uses a new computer system to find Hezbollah members. The computer looks at phones and photos. Some people worry that the computer makes mistakes and hurts innocent people. Israel wants to control the land south of the Litani River. This is an old problem from many years ago. Hezbollah gets help and weapons from Iran to fight Israel. There is a short peace agreement until May 17. But Israel still attacks military sites. Hezbollah uses small drones to fight back. UN peacekeepers are in danger.

Conclusion

The two sides are still fighting. Talking and peace plans do not work yet.
