The Israeli military issued a warning to civilians in southern Lebanon to move away from Hezbollah positions as they intensified attacks on the neighboring country. The warning was the first of its kind in Lebanon, with Israel wanting to create safe conditions for its citizens and destroy Hezbollah’s infrastructure. The fighting between Hezbollah and Israel started after Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack, resulting in a high number of casualties in Gaza and ongoing ceasefire negotiations. Israel has already begun striking Hezbollah targets throughout the country and advised civilians in towns and villages used by Hezbollah for military purposes to evacuate immediately. More than 80 airstrikes were launched by Israel in the morning, amid escalating conflict and recent attacks by both sides. The Israeli military is also investigating reports of the leader of Hamas being killed in an airstrike, but there is not enough evidence to confirm his death. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has reached new heights, with both sides launching attacks and causing civilian casualties. Israeli operations have targeted Hezbollah positions and leaders, resulting in retaliatory rocket attacks towards Israel. The situation remains tense, with uncertainty surrounding the fate of key figures in the conflict.
