The ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has escalated further, with Hezbollah launching over 150 rockets into northern Israel, killing two civilians in Kiryat Shmona.

Israel has responded with airstrikes and ground operations to dismantle Hezbollah’s infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Battles between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters are intensifying, with casualties reported on both sides. Hezbollah continues to fire rockets in support of Palestinians following the conflict sparked by Hamas’s attack on Israel in October 2023.

In addition to the strikes in northern Israel, Israeli forces have targeted Hezbollah positions across southern Lebanon. Lebanese civilians have also suffered, with reports of four deaths and several injuries in Israeli airstrikes, including one on a hotel housing displaced families.
