Israel and the US expanded strikes on Iran targeting military infrastructure, prompting retaliation across the region. The campaign is expected to last weeks, with casualties reported and tensions spreading to Lebanon and the Gulf.

An Israeli strike in Lebanon’s Bekaa region killed eight Hezbollah members during a meeting, the group said, as Beirut condemned the attack and tensions simmered despite a fragile ceasefire.

Haytham Ali Tabatabai is the most senior commander from the Iran-backed group to be killed by Israel since a November 2024 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities between the two sides.

Israel struck Beirut for the first time since June, targeting Hezbollah’s chief of staff. The attack killed one, wounded 21, and heightened tensions amid ongoing regional conflict and diplomatic pressure.

A Hezbollah spokesperson said, “Iran is a strong country capable of defending itself; logic dictates that it can confront America and Israel.”

Long seen as the Iran-led axis's most powerful group, Hezbollah was severely weakened after its latest war with Israel, which ended in a ceasefire agreement in November.

After the strike, Israel's army said it attacked a Hezbollah drone storage facility in the area of Dahiyeh, which it called a key Hezbollah stronghold.

Dr Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese doctor, was deported from the U.S. despite a court order blocking her removal. Authorities cited her alleged support for Hezbollah, sparking legal and political controversy.

The airstrike was the latest in a wave of such attacks since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire went into effect in late November ending the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war.

A Lebanese source told AFP on Saturday that Lebanon had denied permission for Iranian flights to land twice this week, after the United States warned Israel might strike the airport.

On Thursday, the military said it intercepted a Hezbollah "surveillance" drone approaching Israeli territory , which it said "represents a breach of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon".

The Lebanese Health Ministry said six people died. According to news reports, Nasrallah and other senior officials were meeting underground.

Mossad learned that Fuad Shukr allegedly felt "guilty" of juggling four women at once and wanted to marry all of them to correct his feelings.

Mossad, Israel's spy agency created a “pretend world" in which they are a “global production company".

There are too many issues-- political, legal, security and economic-- to be resolved.

The payments of between $300 and $400 per person will total more than $77 million when paid out to all 233,500 families who registered, Qassem said in a recorded speech, thanking Iran for its financing of the effort alongside Hezbollah.

The military said Monday that two projectiles were launched toward Mount Dov, a disputed Israeli-held territory known as Shebaa Farms in Lebanon, where the borders of Lebanon, Syria, and Israel meet.

It was his first address since a ceasefire came into effect on Wednesday after more than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel that decimated swathes of Lebanon and killed 4,000 people including hundreds of women and children.

The ceasefire marks the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza.

Israel launched its intensified campaign of bombardment in Lebanon in late September, vowing to cripple Hezbollah and stop its barrages into northern Israel after months of more limited cross-border exchanges between the two sides.
