Israel conducts airstrikes in response to Hezbollah rocket attack

In retaliation, Israeli jets bombed southern Beirut and other areas in Lebanon, with the Israeli military targeting Hezbollah leaders. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam criticized the attack as reckless, asserting it threatens Lebanon’s security and provides Israel with justification for further aggression.
