Israel appears to be shifting its war strategy toward Hezbollah in southern Lebanon as airstrikes intensify and ground operations expand. The IDF says multiple Hezbollah operatives were killed in precision strikes after being identified by troops operating near the frontline. According to Israeli military statements, fighter jets targeted cells preparing anti-tank missile attacks while ground divisions pushed deeper into southern Lebanon. Israel also claims thousands of targets have been struck in recent weeks, including weapons depots, command centers, and infrastructure used by Hezbollah.

Israel has claimed it destroyed an aircraft linked to Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a strike at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport. According to the Israeli military, the aircraft was a Boeing 747 belonging to the Iranian Air Force and used by senior Iranian officials and military leaders. The strike is part of a broader Israeli air campaign targeting strategic infrastructure across Iran. Israeli officials say more than 200 targets have been hit, including missile production sites and defence installations.
