Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah intensified this week, with Israeli airstrikes killing senior Hezbollah commander Abu Ali Rida in southern Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the strike Monday, part of 13 targeted attacks near the border that caused civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. 💥
Hezbollah retaliated by firing 60 projectiles into northern Israel, though no injuries were reported. Since September, Israel has ramped up strikes on Hezbollah positions across Lebanon, displacing thousands and deepening the humanitarian crisis. 😢
The clashes come amid international calls for de-escalation, but tensions remain high. Analysts warn the conflict risks spilling into a wider regional war. 🌍 #StayInformed
