On Thursday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon during a speech by the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The attacks followed a deadly pager blast across Lebanon that killed 37 people and injured over 2,900. Nasrallah called the attacks a "massacre" and warned Israel of "just punishment." The strikes are part of the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, which intensified after the Gaza war. IDF claimed the strikes aim to degrade Hezbollah's capabilities and ensure security in northern Israel, where clashes have forced thousands to flee.
