January 23, 2024: Beirut, Lebanon: A presumed casualty is rushed into the emergency of Beirut's biggest government hospital during a drill on the efficiency and readiness to confront a possible open-scale Israeli war against Lebanon. The training is part of an emergency and precautionary plans as Israel has made clear it views as untenable the regular exchange of fire between its forces and pro-Iranian Hezbollah militants along the border and may soon launch a major military operation in Lebanon.
