The Israeli military conducted one of its largest airstrikes in nearly a year, hitting 300 targets in Lebanon, resulting in severe casualties. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported 100 deaths and over 400 injuries, marking the deadliest day since the conflict began in October.
In retaliation, Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets at an Israeli military post in Galilee and targeted the facilities of Rafael, a defense firm in Haifa. The hostilities come amid increasing fears of a full-blown war, with both sides suffering significant losses.
Israeli authorities issued evacuation warnings to residents in southern Lebanon, suggesting an intensification of military operations. While Hezbollah vows to continue its strikes in solidarity with Palestinians, Israel assures its commitment to restoring calm along its northern border.
