Israel has claimed responsibility for killing 90 Hezbollah members in a series of attacks in southern Lebanon. According to the Israeli military, the deaths occurred after renewed clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. The military also reported killing two additional Hezbollah fighters within the past 24 hours and said its air force destroyed several of the group’s facilities during overnight raids.
The escalation follows a rocket attack launched by Hezbollah in early March in support of Tehran after the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since then, Israel has intensified its operations across Lebanon, including in the capital Beirut, expanding its military presence and airstrikes.
The latest Israeli offensive has displaced about 1.2 million people from their homes in Lebanon, according to the report. The situation marks a significant deterioration in regional stability as both sides continue to exchange attacks.
