Hezbollah suffered a significant blow as two senior figures, Ibrahim Akil and Ahmed Wahbi, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, along with at least 31 others. The strike has escalated tensions in the region, with Lebanon’s health minister confirming casualties and injuries. Iran, a key supporter of Hezbollah, condemned the attack and warned of the possibility of all-out war. The airstrike followed explosions targeting Hezbollah members’ communication devices, believed to be orchestrated by Israel. The incident is part of a series of escalations between Israel and Iran-backed groups, raising concerns about a broader conflict. Iran showcased its military capabilities, including a new drone, at a parade in Tehran, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemning Israel’s actions. A senior officer in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned of the region being on the brink of war and the potential for broader conflict beyond Lebanon. The situation remains tense, with fears of further violence and instability in the Middle East.
