Israeli strikes kill 492 in Lebanon, Hezbollah fires 200 rockets in retaliation
Hezbollah launched a flurry of missiles overnight, triggering rocket sirens in Haifa, Afula, Nazareth, and other northern Israeli communities. The organization, supported by Iran, claimed that the strikes were directed at multiple Israeli military stations and airfields.
Since the Gaza conflict commenced on october 7 of last year, when various nations appealed for caution, the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah confrontation has escalated worries of an all-out war in the area.
• Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets resulted in 492 deaths, including dozens of women and children, and 1,645 injuries, according to the Lebanese health ministry. This is the greatest day death toll in lebanon since the conclusion of the 1975–1990 civil war. It was also the worst day in the nation since the Israel-Hezbollah conflict of 2006.
• Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, stated that the military of his nation was altering the "security balance" along its northern data-border. Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, the chief of staff of the IDF, stated that the armed forces were getting ready for the "next phases" in lebanon and promised to provide more details later.
