Two Killed, Eight Injured in Israeli Airstrikes on Southern Lebanon

In a series of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, at least two people, including a girl, were killed and eight others injured following cross-border rocket fire into northern Israel. The Israeli military conducted the strikes targeting Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center, responding to three rockets fired from Lebanon, which set off air raid sirens for the first time since a ceasefire in November. Israeli officials stated that the Lebanese government is responsible for any hostile fire from its territory and warned of potential escalations. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam expressed concerns over the risk of a new war after months of relative calm. The situation marks a significant uptick in violence and tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, reflecting ongoing regional instability.
