Israel Invades Lebanon
On Tuesday, Israel launched limited ground incursions into southern Lebanon involving commando and paratroop units, though no direct clashes with Hezbollah were reported. Meanwhile, Hezbollah, supported by Iran, fired missiles at various Israeli targets, including military and intelligence facilities near Tel Aviv. These developments occurred amid heightened tension in the region, with Israel responding to Hezbollah’s provocations by conducting airstrikes that have displaced one million Lebanese and killed over 1,100 people.

Hezbollah’s missile attacks, including the new “Fadi 4” rockets, targeted Israeli military posts and the Mossad headquarters. Israeli authorities reported two civilians wounded from the missile barrage.
The conflict has prompted international concerns, with officials from Spain and the UK urging Israel to avoid escalating the situation further. In addition to Hezbollah, other Iran-backed groups, including Yemen’s Houthis, have launched attacks in support of Hamas in Gaza, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.

The fighting has strained Lebanon, which is seeking $400 million in aid to cope with the surging hostilities. Israel has suggested that a larger ground invasion may be imminent, with the goal of neutralizing Hezbollah’s threat and allowing Israeli citizens displaced by rocket attacks to return home.
