Hezbollah announced the completion of the "first phase" of its attack on Israel after firing hundreds of rockets and drones. Israel responded with pre-emptive airstrikes in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported three deaths from the strikes. The escalation follows the assassination of a Hezbollah commander in Beirut last month. Israel confirmed the death of a 21-year-old soldier in northern Israel. Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is set to address the situation later today. Tensions between the two sides remain high as the conflict unfolds.
