In a significant escalation, Israel has launched a series of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, marking one of the most intense attacks since the conclusion of last year's war.

The Israeli military stated that it successfully hit a Hezbollah infrastructure site, although the group has not yet responded. Lebanon's Health Ministry confirmed one death and eight injuries, with plumes of smoke visible from the affected areas in the Nabatieh region, close to the Israeli border.

The renewed hostilities underscore persistent strains between the two nations, with mutual accusations of failing to uphold the ceasefire agreements. While rockets have been fired into Israel, Hezbollah denies involvement, and Palestinian militants have been detained for these attacks. The airstrikes follow the backdrop of previous devastations and ongoing geopolitical disputes.
