The Israeli military has conducted airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. The strikes were also carried out deep into Lebanese territory, aiming at launchers and buildings storing weapons belonging to the Iran-backed paramilitary group.
The Israel Defense Forces stated that the operation is part of efforts to 'degrade and dismantle' Hezbollah's infrastructure and capabilities. The strikes come amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides engaging in military actions.
Earlier on Friday, Israel reportedly targeted Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in strikes on the Lebanese capital of Beirut. However, there has been no official confirmation from Hezbollah regarding Nasrallah's status following the attacks.
Hezbollah, a powerful political and military organization in Lebanon, has been a key player in the region's complex dynamics. The group's close ties with Iran have often put it at odds with Israel, leading to periodic confrontations and hostilities.
The latest Israeli airstrikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two adversaries. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for further military actions and retaliations on both sides.
As the situation continues to unfold, regional and international stakeholders are closely monitoring developments in the volatile region, hoping for a de-escalation of tensions and a return to stability.
