Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon have intensified, targeting Hezbollah positions, while the Iran-backed militant group retaliated by launching rockets into northern Israel. This escalation follows a series of Israeli airstrikes that resulted in nearly 500 casualties in Lebanon, displacing tens of thousands of people. Hezbollah reported that it successfully hit multiple Israeli military sites overnight, including an explosives factory located approximately 35 miles (60 km) inside Israeli territory and the Megiddo airfield near Afula, which was struck in three separate attacks. In response to the ongoing conflict, the Lebanese Prime Minister is set to address the United Nations, highlighting the urgent need for international attention and intervention in the escalating crisis.
