Israeli strikes continued across Lebanon following the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a recent airstrike. Israel reported hitting "dozens" of Hezbollah sites overnight, while Lebanese media confirmed at least 15 more casualties. Iran's Supreme Leader has promised retaliation, saying Nasrallah's death "will not go unavenged." Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that Nasrallah’s killing "settled the score" for past actions. U.S. President Joe Biden called the event a "measure of justice" for Nasrallah's victims and reiterated a call for a ceasefire. Nasrallah had long been a prominent figure in Middle Eastern politics.
