Early on Monday, the Israeli military announced that they are conducting extensive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Lebanon's news agency reported multiple Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley.
Video footage from southern Lebanon captured an object falling from the sky in a rural area, followed by an explosion in a burst of flames. The flames then turned into smoke, accompanied by a loud boom.
These strikes come amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon. The Israeli military has not provided specific details on the targets of the strikes or the extent of the damage caused.
Hezbollah, a Shia Islamist political party and militant group, has been a long-standing adversary of Israel. The two sides have engaged in multiple conflicts over the years, with Lebanon often caught in the crossfire.
As the situation continues to unfold, there are concerns about the potential for further escalation and the impact on civilians in the region. Both Israel and Hezbollah have significant military capabilities, raising fears of a broader conflict.
International observers are closely monitoring the situation and calling for restraint from all parties involved. The United Nations and other diplomatic channels are working to de-escalate tensions and prevent a full-blown conflict.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days and what steps will be taken to address the underlying issues fueling the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
