Israeli forces have launched airstrikes in southern Lebanon, killing four people and injuring at least 20 others, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. The attacks come amid ongoing tensions following reports that Hezbollah fighters launched two drones toward Israeli troops. The Israeli military stated it targeted the area in response to the drone incursions.
Despite a ceasefire that has largely paused hostilities for over two months, the strikes have reignited fears of renewed conflict. Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun has called on the international community to take immediate action to stop the violations of the agreement. The attacks also damaged an empty hospital, raising concerns about civilian safety in the region.
Iran’s parliament speaker has warned that any new Israeli attacks will face a “faster, heavier and more painful response.” Meanwhile, intelligence assessments suggest Iran is preparing a potential attack on Israel, possibly involving Hezbollah, Hamas, and other regional groups. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to escalate rhetoric and military activity.
The Israeli army has ordered the evacuation of a zone in southern Lebanon ahead of further strikes, indicating a possible expansion of operations. The conflict continues to strain diplomatic efforts and raise questions about the future of the ceasefire.
