In a significant escalation of hostilities, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their military operations in Lebanon, launching airstrikes across southern suburbs of Beirut and engaging in a ground offensive against Hezbollah. Reports indicate that Israeli airstrikes have led to the destruction of a major tunnel used for smuggling weapons from Iran through Syria, while military engagements have resulted in the deaths of over 250 Hezbollah operatives. In addition, the IDF has declared mass evacuations for southern Lebanon residents amid the ongoing assault. The situation continues to escalate as clashes with Hezbollah persist, with the Israeli military suffering casualties as well. As Israel targets Hezbollah strongholds and key transport routes in the region, concerns grow regarding the potential for broader regional conflict as Iran threatens retaliation against Israeli actions.
