Lebanon's Iran-aligned Hezbollah announced on Saturday that it had launched missile attacks on Israeli sites, including Rosh Pina in the north, in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Lebanese cities, villages, and civilians.
Earlier in the day, Israel stated that it had conducted an airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs, resulting in the death of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader for 32 years. However, Hezbollah has yet to release any statement concerning Nasrallah's status.
The developments mark a significant escalation in the long-standing conflict between the two sides.
