Israel Defense Forces struck targets across Lebanon after Hezbollah fired missiles and drones toward Israel in retaliation for Iran’s Supreme Leader’s killing. Hezbollah said the attack was in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Shiite group entered the conflict after United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran Saturday for first time.

In a statement, the IDF said several projectiles launched from Lebanon into Israeli territory landed in open areas. Witnesses reported explosions in parts of Tel Aviv, but authorities did not activate sirens or confirm the exact source.

Hezbollah Enters Conflict as Israel Expands Strikes in Lebanon

Israel launched intense airstrikes across Lebanon late Sunday after Hezbollah fired missiles and drones toward Israeli territory in retaliation for Iran’s Supreme Leader’s killing. Hezbollah said the attack was carried out in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This marks significant escalation as Hezbollah openly joined the conflict after US and Israeli strikes on Iran a day earlier. The involvement of the Shiite group, a key regional ally of Tehran, raises fears conflict could widen beyond current frontlines.

According to the IDF, several projectiles launched from Lebanon landed in open areas inside Israel. People heard explosions in parts of Tel Aviv, but authorities did not activate air raid sirens and are investigating the exact cause and origin of the blasts. Officials reported no immediate casualties. Hezbollah said it launched the operation in response to what it called Israel’s “continued aggression” and the killing of Khamenei. The group claimed it had targeted a missile defence facility located south of Haifa.This marks the first occasion in more than a year that Hezbollah has publicly acknowledged carrying out a direct strike on Israel.
