Israel Launches Strikes on More Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon Following Assassination of Leader

Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon following the killing of the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The strikes resulted in at least 15 casualties, according to reports from Lebanese media.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country had “settled the score” with Nasrallah’s death, indicating that the strikes were a direct response to the killing of the Hezbollah leader. Nasrallah’s death was announced just a day prior to the airstrikes.

However, Iran’s supreme leader has vowed that Nasrallah’s death “will not go unavenged,” suggesting that there may be further retaliation from Hezbollah’s allies in the region.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has led to heightened tensions in the region, with both sides engaging in tit-for-tat attacks. The latest round of airstrikes underscores the volatility of the situation and raises concerns about a potential escalation of violence.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Israel, Hezbollah, and other regional players will respond to the escalating violence. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
