Israel Intensifies Airstrikes Against Hezbollah in Lebanon

Israel has launched extensive airstrikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah, resulting in over 569 deaths and thousands of injuries, marking the deadliest escalation since the 2006 war. The Israeli Defense Forces have vowed to intensify their campaign, asserting that Hezbollah must not be allowed to regroup. Among the casualties is a senior Hezbollah commander, Ibrahim Qubaisi, killed in a recent strike. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have provided mixed responses, with President Masoud Pezeshkian stating that Hezbollah cannot defend Lebanon alone, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insists on Hezbollah's capability to resist aggression. The ongoing conflict has led to significant humanitarian crises, with thousands displaced and taking refuge in schools. The U.S. has been called upon to intervene, with fears of a wider regional war looming if tensions escalate further.
