Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel escalated as Hezbollah held a funeral for senior commander Ibrahim Aqil, killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Aqil, a veteran military leader, led Hezbollah’s Radwan Force, which conducts cross-border attacks on Israel. His death comes amid increasing violence, with Hezbollah launching 150 rockets into Israel in retaliation. Israeli airstrikes targeted southern Lebanon, destroying thousands of Hezbollah's rocket launchers. The UN warns of a looming catastrophe as fears of an all-out war grow. Aqil's death marks a significant blow to Hezbollah, further intensifying the conflict in the region.
