Part 6/12:
The recent violence has led to a tragic toll, with Lebanon’s health ministry reporting at least 37 dead and nearly 3,000 wounded from the Israeli attacks involving explosives-laced devices—allegedly remotely detonated in an unprecedented operation aimed at crippling Hezbollah’s capabilities. Israel has not officially confirmed its involvement, but U.S. officials suggest Israel's role was significant, with White House sources indicating they had no prior warning.
Amid mounting regional tensions, Hezbollah remains defiant, threatening continued rocket attacks into northern Israel. Iran-backed forces back Nasrallah’s stance, with Iran's envoy to Lebanon and IRGC officials vowing that Israel will face "crushing" backlash, further signifying the potential for wider regional conflict.
