Israel has started heavy airstrikes in Lebanon. At least seven civilians were killed. In addition, at least two Hezbollah fighters were also killed in the attack in southern Lebanon.
This incident has caused great tension between the two neighboring countries. There is a fear of conflict in the Middle East centered on the Gaza war.
Security sources say Israel retaliated after a Hezbollah rocket attack on an army base killed a soldier.
A woman and two children were killed in Lebanon’s Sowaneh region. Besides, at least four members of a family lost their lives in Nabatihe area.
Israel’s military says it hit Hezbollah installations in northern Israel in response to a deadly rocket attack.
Israeli forces have been exchanging fire with Hezbollah fighters on the border almost daily since fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza began in October. On October 7, Palestinian armed groups led by Hamas launched a large-scale offensive against Israel from the Gaza Strip. Hamas called it Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Then on October 8, Hezbollah fired 10 missiles at the Sheba Farm military installation in support of a Hamas attack. The situation on the Lebanese-Israeli border soon became heated. As a result of this conflict, there are fears of a wider regional conflict in the Middle East.
