Israeli fighter jets launched a major preemptive strike on southern Lebanon, targeting over 40 Hezbollah rocket launch sites. The Israeli military stated that approximately 100 jets participated in the operation, destroying thousands of rocket launcher barrels. In retaliation, Hezbollah fired over 320 Katyusha rockets and drones toward northern Israel, hitting 11 military targets. Three people were killed in Lebanon due to Israeli airstrikes. This escalation follows increased tensions in the region after Israel assassinated Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, last month. The situation remains volatile, with fears of a broader regional conflict.
