Israel on High Alert After Nasrallah's Death

Israel is on heightened alert following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike in Beirut, which has raised fears of escalating conflict in the region. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the strike occurred during a meeting of Hezbollah leaders, resulting in multiple casualties, including senior commanders. In response, Hezbollah vowed to continue its 'holy war' against Israel, while Iranian officials called for solidarity with the group. The IDF stated it is prepared for a potential ground invasion of Lebanon and has deployed additional troops to northern Israel. Air raid sirens were activated in central Israel due to missile threats, with interceptions reported from both Yemen and Lebanon. This situation follows a week of increasing hostilities in the region, prompting Israel to restrict gatherings of over 1,000 people as a precautionary measure.
