Israeli Airstrikes Target Southern Lebanon

Israeli warplanes struck the village of Ayta ash Shab in southern Lebanon, as clashes between Hezbollah forces and Israel intensify along the Lebanese border. The tensions escalated following the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The village, abandoned by civilians, was hit around 11:00 AM local time, with thick smoke seen rising from the area. As Israeli attacks persist, Hezbollah forces are reportedly retaliating.
