Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, targeting buildings used by Hezbollah operatives. The strikes, which took place in the Nabatieh and Khiam areas, reportedly resulted in the deaths of four Hezbollah members, according to Lebanese security sources.
These airstrikes come as Israel braces for potential attacks from Iran and its proxies. Just a day before the Israeli strikes, Hezbollah launched a rocket and drone attack into northern Israel, injuring two people. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has been escalating for the past 10 months, has raised concerns among world leaders about the possibility of a larger regional war.
Recent developments have further heightened tensions in the region. Israel confirmed the killing of a top Hezbollah commander and a Hamas commander in separate strikes. The assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran has been a point of contention, with Iran vowing to avenge his death.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emphasized that Israel is prepared for any scenario as the situation continues to unfold. The volatile situation in the Middle East underscores the delicate balance of power and the potential for further escalation in the region.
