Israel launched new strikes on Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah’s communication devices after attacks that killed dozens and injured thousands. The strikes escalated tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group, raising fears of all-out war. The Israeli military hit about 100 Hezbollah launchers and infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon, leading to one of the heaviest barrages in the region since the conflict began. This came after an operation in which pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon, causing fatalities and chaos. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah accused Israel of an act of war and vowed revenge, but did not specify when or how the group would retaliate. The attacks have created fear and uncertainty in Lebanon, with hospitals overwhelmed and people hesitant to use electronic devices. The situation remains tense, with Israeli warplanes flying over Beirut and the threat of further retaliatory strikes hanging over the region.
