Canadian Armed Forces positioning equipment in Mediterranean for possible Lebanon evacuation
BEIRUT, LEBANON - AUGUST 07: Mourners carry the coffin of Hezbollah fighter Amin Hassan Badreddine, during his funeral service on August 07, 2024 in Beirut Lebanon. Amin Hassan Badreddine, the nephew of late Hezbollah commander Mustafa Badreddine, was killed in southern Lebanon along with three other people on August 06, 2024. The recent assassination of a Hezbollah military commander in Lebanon, as well as the killing of the political leader of Hamas in Iran, has heightened concerns of a wider regional war between Israel and Iran-backed enemies like Hezbollah. Israel and Hezbollah have traded regular cross-border fire since Oct. 7, although both sides have seemed to calculate their attacks to avoid all-out war. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
