Over 100 people were killed and 400 injured in Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, marking the heaviest toll in nearly a year of clashes. The strikes hit 300 sites, while Hezbollah retaliated by targeting Israeli military positions, including defense complexes near Haifa. Lebanon's government has closed schools in affected regions for two days. Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, called for efforts to end Israel's “barbaric aggression” in Lebanon. Fears of a wider regional conflict continue to grow.
