Hezbollah retaliated by launching a barrage of missiles at an Israeli military base following a deadly airstrike in Beirut that claimed 37 lives, including senior Hezbollah leaders and civilians. Israel reported intercepting most of the rockets, though one man was lightly wounded by shrapnel.

The confrontation intensified with Israel and Hezbollah trading heavy fire over the weekend. A top Hezbollah leader, Ibrahim Akil, was among the deceased, a significant blow to the militant group's chain of command. On the Israeli side, emergency medical services were on high alert.

The conflict shows no signs of subsiding as both parties brace for further violence. The Israeli government has imposed new safety measures and restrictions in the north, anticipating more Hezbollah rocket attacks. The region remains tense and uncertain, with a high human toll on both sides.
