Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Lebanon of "destruction like Gaza" unless it frees itself from Hezbollah, following intense cross-border hostilities. In a video message, Netanyahu urged the Lebanese people to act, while Israel intensified strikes in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces claim to have killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, along with his replacement and their successors. Hezbollah has vowed retaliation, targeting northern Israeli cities like Haifa. Meanwhile, Iran has warned Gulf states not to assist Israel. The conflict escalates as Israeli strikes continue and humanitarian concerns mount, with the UN warning of a catastrophe.
