Israel continued its airstrikes on Beirut, targeting Hezbollah strongholds following Iran’s warning. The Lebanese group engaged in clashes with Israeli forces near the border, with Israel reporting over 2,000 military targets hit and 250 Hezbollah operatives killed. Iran’s supreme leader defended missile strikes on Israel, predicting its collapse. The war, which began with Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, has now drawn in Iran-backed Hezbollah. Concerns are rising over potential strikes on Iranian oil and nuclear infrastructure, as oil prices surge amid fears of further escalation.
