Escalating Conflict: Israeli Strike in Lebanon

At least six people were killed and three others wounded by an Israeli strike on a residential building in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. Tensions have increased following a rocket strike in the Golan Heights and subsequent actions by Israel and Hezbollah, including high-profile killings and retaliations.

At least six people were killed and three others were wounded by an Israeli strike on a residential building in Nabatieh city, in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese health ministry said early on Saturday.

Tensions have soared in the region in recent weeks, after a deadly rocket strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that Israel blamed on Hezbollah. Israel responded with the killing of a top Hezbollah commander in the suburbs of Beirut. Hezbollah has also vowed to retaliate against Israel, as has Iran, for the killing in Tehran of the political chief of the Palestinian Hamas group, Ismail Haniyeh.
