Cross-Border Escalation: Syria Rockets Target Golan Heights, IDF Responds with Strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is set to speak for the first time since the start of the Iron Swords War, while IDF aircraft strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in response to rocket launches aimed at Israel. Hamas expresses disappointment with limited support from Arab nations and accuses the Palestinian Authority of covertly urging the West to eliminate them. The IDF reports rockets fired from Syria toward Israeli territory, prompting Israeli forces to target the launch sites. Jordan requests Patriot air defense systems from the US to bolster its border defense. The IDF continues to expand its ground operation in the Gaza Strip, eliminating dozens of terrorists and negotiating for the release of hostages.
