Israeli Airstrikes Hit Southern Lebanon Amid Escalating Tensions
Beirut, The Gulf Observer: Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, resulting in fires across several towns in the region. According to the Lebanese state-run National News Agency, more than 50 airstrikes were carried out on border towns.
In a statement, the Israeli military confirmed that fighter jets conducted a new wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, signaling a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two sides.
Images of fires engulfing the towns were widely circulated on social media, highlighting the damage caused by the attacks. The affected areas have yet to report on casualties or the extent of structural damage.
The airstrikes mark a continuation of heightened hostilities along the Israeli-Lebanese border, with both Israel and Hezbollah engaging in cross-border confrontations in recent weeks. Regional and international observers are closely monitoring the situation, fearing the potential for further escalation.
Lebanon’s government has condemned the strikes and called for restraint, urging the international community to intervene and prevent further violence in the region. The situation remains tense as diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict continue.
