Israeli airstrikes killed three people in southern Lebanon on Monday, including two Hezbollah fighters, amid escalating cross-border violence. Hezbollah has traded near-daily fire with Israel since the October 7 Gaza war, vowing revenge for recent killings of their leaders. The strikes, targeting motorbikes and border villages, also caused a pregnant woman to miscarry. Israel claimed to have eliminated Hezbollah operatives involved in drone operations. Lebanon's health sector, already strained by an economic crisis, received emergency medical supplies from WHO as tensions threaten to escalate into full-blown conflict.
