Israel Strikes Lebanon and Beirut After Hezbollah Rocket Fire; Region Braces for Wider War.

Israeli forces launched a series of intense airstrikes across Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, on Monday morning in response to rocket barrages fired by Hezbollah. This escalation marks the first major breach of the November 2024 ceasefire agreement by the Tehran-backed group, which claimed the rocket launches were in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader. The Israeli military confirmed it had precisely targeted senior Hezbollah commanders and strategic installations in Beirut’s southern suburbs and southern Lebanon. Witnesses reported multiple loud explosions echoing through the capital as the conflict, previously centered on Iran and Israel, now expands into a multi-front regional war. (TNIE)
