Israel launched a series of intense air strikes on Lebanon following a rocket attack from Lebanese territory, breaking a ceasefire that had been in effect since November. The Israeli military targeted rocket launchers and a command centre belonging to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia and political group, in southern Lebanon.
Various armed groups operate in Lebanon, with Hezbollah being the most powerful among them. However, no group has claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. Hezbollah denied involvement and affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire.
In response to the Israeli airstrikes, Lebanon’s health ministry reported two casualties, including a child, and eight injuries. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the delicate balance of peace in the region.
The conflict between Israel and Lebanon highlights the complex and volatile nature of the Middle East. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions and potential escalation in the region.
