Israel's Strikes on Lebanon
Briefly

Israel is now at war on its western and northern borders as a tense stalemate with Hezbollah has escalated into open conflict, marking a significant regional confrontation.
The airstrikes over the past few days, in retaliation for Hezbollah's own attacks, move Israel closer to an all-out war in the region against Iranian proxies, suggesting a potential for wider instability.
Hezbollah is a large paramilitary group that claims to oppose U.S. influence in the Middle East and has played a powerful role in Lebanese politics, essentially running part of the country.
The current clash, rooted in a year of back-and-forth bombings, has resulted in over 490 deaths from Israeli strikes, emphasizing the scale of violence and conflict escalation.
