Israel has launched fresh attacks across Lebanon, with strikes hitting multiple areas and sending plumes of black smoke over parts of Beirut, highlighting a sharp escalation in hostilities along the border.
Israeli forces increased their activity near the frontier, with reports of intensified aerial surveillance and military helicopters releasing flares over contested areas. The Israeli army said its strikes were aimed at Hezbollah positions believed to be preparing or launching rockets, framing the action as a defensive response to cross-border threats.
Meanwhile, air raid sirens continued to sound in Israeli communities close to the border, as intermittent rocket fire from Lebanon kept residents on edge. The back-and-forth exchanges have deepened fears among civilians on both sides, with the situation remaining highly unpredictable and prone to further escalation.
The renewed fighting reflects how fragile the region remains, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and preventing a wider conflict.
