Amid rising tensions in the Middle East following a series of electronic device explosions in Lebanon, Israel launched major air strikes on the southern region of the country on Thursday. This came as Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah condemned the recent attacks that killed at least 32 people and injured over 3,000.
However, reports indicate that Hezbollah has retaliated along the border. According to the Associated Press, Israel has claimed the loss of two soldiers during the exchange of strikes.
“Crossed All Red Lines”: Hezbollah Leader Nasrallah on Israel”
Just before Nasrallah’s televised address, Israel confirmed new strikes. A BBC correspondent in Beirut reported hearing Israeli fighter jets breaking the sound barrier over the capital.
In his highly anticipated speech, Hassan Nasrallah delivered his first public response to the recent wave of attacks in Lebanon. He harshly criticized Israel, labeling it as “the enemy” and accusing it of crossing “all limits, rules, and red lines” with the attacks that caused at least 37 deaths and over 3,000 injuries. Nasrallah condemned the incidents as a massacre, acknowledged the severe impact on his group, but claimed that their coordination and communication capabilities remained intact.
