In a major escalation, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) unleashed a powerful aerial assault, deploying more than 100 fighter jets to strike over 120 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon within just 60 minutes. The operation targeted Hezbollah’s elite Radwan forces, missile and rocket installations, and intelligence headquarters, aiming to cripple the group’s military capabilities.
The Israeli military stated that the strikes were designed to “deepen the damage” to Hezbollah’s command and control systems, assisting ground forces in their ongoing operations. The strikes marked one of the most extensive attacks in the region, as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continue to escalate.
Israel has also announced plans to extend its operations to Lebanon’s coast, warning civilians to steer clear of the area. Meanwhile, Lebanon’s government revealed that over 400,000 people have fled the conflict, with many seeking refuge in war-torn Syria.
The situation in the region remains volatile as Israel intensifies its military campaign against Hezbollah.
