Israeli airstrikes have escalated in both Lebanon and Syria, resulting in significant casualties and destruction. In southern Lebanon, Israeli strikes killed eight people, including a child, and five Hezbollah fighters. Hezbollah has been actively engaged in cross-border fire with Israel since the Gaza conflict began on October 7. Meanwhile, in Syria, Israeli airstrikes targeted positions of the Syrian army and Hezbollah, killing three Iran-backed fighters and wounding seven civilians. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have also intensified operations in Gaza, targeting Hamas command centers and infrastructure, resulting in the elimination of over 50 terrorists and the destruction of weapon storage facilities. The ongoing conflict has heightened regional tensions, with Iran and Hezbollah vowing reprisals for the recent killings of senior Iran-backed fighters.
