Amid rising tensions, Israel has escalated its military presence in southern Lebanon as the Iran-backed Hezbollah group declares readiness for an 'open war'. Following Hezbollah's rocket attacks, Israel's retaliatory airstrikes killed 40 people, escalating the already volatile situation.
Lebanese Health Minister Rakan Nassereddine confirmed the casualties, as Israeli forces targeted Hezbollah positions, leading to significant civilian displacement. Israel's military strategy involves targeting Hezbollah officials and preventing further militant activities.
