The Israel Defense Forces have launched air strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, citing self-defence in response to an imminent Hezbollah missile attack. Israel is on high alert for further attacks and is bracing for a potential escalation. Hezbollah, in retaliation for the killing of its top military commander, launched rockets and drones at Israel. The ongoing conflict has the potential to spiral into a full-scale war, with both sides making threats and taking defensive measures. Despite the airstrikes and attacks, casualties have been minimal so far, with one person reported killed in a drone strike in Lebanon. Israel is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to defend itself against any further aggression. This cycle of violence highlights the volatile situation in the region with the risk of a wider regional conflict looming. Diplomatic efforts are crucial to prevent further escalation and protect the civilians caught in the crossfire.
