Israeli Airstrikes Target Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed multiple military operations against Hezbollah and other threats in the region, including an airstrike that killed a Hezbollah operative in southern Syria. In a related incident, an Israeli navy ship intercepted a drone approaching from Lebanon, prompting retaliatory strikes that destroyed a rocket launcher responsible for attacks on northern Israeli towns. Additionally, the IDF has intensified its drone operations, eliminating several Hezbollah cells and targeting 185 locations across Lebanon in response to recent attacks. The military's actions follow claims from the Iranian-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq regarding an attack on Eilat, although the IDF stated that a drone related to this claim was intercepted before entering Israeli territory. As the IDF continues its operations, discussions are underway regarding the return of 60,000 evacuated residents from northern Israel. These developments highlight the ongoing tensions along Israel's borders, particularly with Hezbollah and Iranian-backed groups.
