Escalation: Deadly Israeli Airstrikes in Lebanon Following Cross-Border Attack
Violent escalation erupted along the Lebanon-Israel border early Saturday after a Hezbollah attack severely wounded three Israeli soldiers. Jerusalem responded with devastating air raids that killed at least ten people, including women and children, according to health officials.
Military Response and Accusations
The Israeli Prime Minister's office accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire. The IDF claimed it targeted a 'Rezwan Force' command center, killing a battalion commander and several fighters. Israel alleged the commander used his family as human shields, though it stated civilians were not the intended target.
Lebanese Stance
President Nour Hassan Salam demanded an immediate halt to the strikes, asserting that dealing with Hezbollah's military presence is solely Lebanon's responsibility. He emphasized that this does not grant Israel the right to target Lebanese territory or endanger civilians.
