Israel has launched a fresh wave of airstrikes across South Lebanon as tensions with Hezbollah continue to escalate despite a 45-day US-backed ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military says more than 30 Hezbollah-linked targets were struck within just 24 hours after multiple drone and rocket launches from southern Lebanon reportedly crossed into Israeli territory. The renewed violence comes amid rising fears of a wider Middle East conflict, with US-Iran tensions continuing to grow and diplomatic efforts struggling to hold the fragile truce together. Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted several locations across South Lebanon, while Hezbollah claimed new retaliatory attacks, including strikes linked to Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. WATCH
