Following rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel, the Israeli military launched airstrikes targeting sites within Lebanon. Israeli officials confirmed the strikes, stating that they were aimed at infrastructure associated with Hezbollah. The rocket attack from Lebanon is the first of its kind in several months, marking a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries.
Initial reports indicate that the rockets landed in open areas, causing no immediate casualties. However, the incident prompted air raid sirens in northern Israeli communities, sending residents to bomb shelters. The Israeli military responded swiftly with airstrikes, reportedly hitting targets in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah has yet to officially comment on the incident. The United Nations and other international bodies are urging restraint and calling for a de-escalation of the conflict to prevent further violence. The situation remains volatile, and the potential for further escalation is a growing concern.
