Israel launched its largest airstrikes on Hezbollah since 2006, destroying thousands of rocket launchers across southern Lebanon. Hezbollah retaliated by firing three hundred twenty rockets and drones, targeting eleven Israeli military facilities. The escalation follows the assassination of Hezbollah's senior commander, Fuad Shukr, by Israel. Israel reported the death of one navy soldier. Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati urged a ceasefire, emphasizing international efforts to broker peace. The U.S. continues diplomatic efforts to prevent a broader regional war, amid concerns that Hezbollah's actions will persist until the Gaza conflict ends.
