Israel has intensified its military operations against Hezbollah, launching over 100 airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed the military to escalate its actions against the Iran-backed militant group, stating, 'We are at war with Hezbollah.' The Israeli military targeted weapons storage facilities and command centers, issuing evacuation warnings for Nabatieh, a major city in southern Lebanon, as airstrikes were anticipated. The strikes resulted in at least 11 fatalities, including two children, according to Lebanon's health ministry. This latest wave of violence follows a series of tit-for-tat attacks that resumed after a U.S.-brokered cease-fire in April. The conflict reignited after Hezbollah launched rockets in support of Iran, leading to heightened tensions. As the situation escalates, U.S. officials and Iranian representatives are reportedly making headway towards a potential peace agreement aimed at resolving the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The developments signal a precarious balance between military action and diplomatic negotiations in the region.
