An Israeli airstrike on a Hezbollah military site in southern Lebanon killed five Hezbollah fighters on Tuesday. The strike targeted a structure near Nabatiyeh, which Israel claimed was used to plan attacks on its territory. Hezbollah retaliated with several attacks on northern Israel, including a drone strike on a barracks near Acre. This violence is part of ongoing cross-border clashes since October, which have claimed at least 555 lives in Lebanon, including 116 civilians. The escalation follows the recent high-profile deaths of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, with tensions further heightened by threats of retaliation from Iran and its allies.
