Israel escalates military actions against Lebanon following Hezbollah attack

Israeli airstrikes on Dahiyeh, a suburb of Beirut, prompted mass evacuations as residents fled the chaos in the early hours. Nader Hani Akil, who escaped with his family, described the scene as chaotic with heavy traffic and crying children. In response, Hezbollah launched missiles towards Israel, claiming it was retaliation for the assassination of Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The Lebanese government condemned Hezbollah’s actions and ordered arrests related to the rocket strikes, while Israeli attacks continued, resulting in casualties and further displacement.
