Israel continues to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, with the IDF aiming to degrade the military capabilities of the militant group. The strikes come after a significant attack on Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s headquarters in Beirut, marking a dangerous escalation. The US has called for a ceasefire in the region through diplomacy.
Hezbollah retaliated with rocket attacks on Israeli cities, prompting fears of further escalation. The situation in the Middle East is described as precarious, with ongoing violence in Gaza and Lebanon. The UN has expressed alarm at the Israeli strikes on Beirut, while Iran has warned of consequences for the attack.
Israel defends its actions as necessary for self-defense against terrorism, but the international community urges a diplomatic solution. Calls for peace and a ceasefire continue, as the region faces unprecedented levels of violence and uncertainty. Britons in Lebanon are advised to leave immediately, as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah threaten to spiral out of control. The US president, Joe Biden, remains updated on the situation and stresses the need for more information before commenting on the strike.
