Israel launched punishing airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Beirut, cutting off the border crossing between Lebanon and Syria. The strikes in Beirut caused chaos and destruction, with hundreds killed and many displaced since the conflict escalated.
Hezbollah retaliated with rocket attacks into Israel, intensifying the violence. The Israeli military claimed to have killed key Hezbollah members, including the leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The situation escalated further when Iran-backed militias in Iraq launched drone strikes into northern Israel. Iranian officials warned of stronger retaliation if Israel continues its attacks.
Tensions are high in the region, with fears of a regionwide war looming. The situation is dire, with casualties mounting on both sides and thousands displaced from their homes.
The conflict shows no signs of abating, with both sides engaged in violent exchanges. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a peaceful resolution to prevent further bloodshed.
