On Sunday, the Israeli military launched strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure located in Beirut's southern suburbs, following rocket fire from the group targeting northern Israel. The strikes heighten concerns over a potential escalation in the three-month conflict.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alongside his defense minister, stated the attacks were a response to Hezbollah's aggression. The Lebanese reported two fatalities and 11 injuries, though confirmation of Hezbollah's involvement remains elusive.
