Middle East Tensions Escalate with Key Commander's Death

Hezbollah commander Hassan Fares Jeshi, responsible for anti-tank missile fire on northern Israel, was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon, according to the IDF. The strike is part of escalating tensions, with Hezbollah and Israeli forces engaging in daily cross-border attacks, linked to Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza. Concurrently, Israeli forces killed at least 12 Palestinians in separate raids in the West Bank, intensifying the conflict. Hezbollah also launched drone and rocket attacks on northern Israel, warning of further retaliation for Israel's killing of senior commanders. These developments have heightened fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East. Casualties on both sides include civilians and military personnel, with significant infrastructural damage reported.
