Israeli Strikes Escalate Across Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria

Israeli air strikes on two villages in Mount Lebanon have killed at least 23 people, mostly women and children, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The strikes targeted areas where displaced families were residing, amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli military claims to have targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, while Hezbollah continues to launch rocket attacks into northern Israel. The violence follows a year of cross-border tensions and Israel's intensified military campaign in Lebanon, which has resulted in over 3,200 deaths and 1.2 million displaced people.
