Tensions escalated between Israel and Hezbollah as both sides launched cross-border attacks, prompting urgent calls from the UN to de-escalate. Israel reported approximately 150 projectiles fired from Lebanon, damaging homes near Haifa. In retaliation, Israel targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "We will take whatever action is necessary to restore security," while Hezbollah's deputy leader declared, “Threats will not stop us.” UN officials warned that the region "teeters on the brink of catastrophe," emphasizing there is no military solution to ensure safety for either side.
