In response, the Lebanese army said it has redeployed soldiers from several recently established border positions on Tuesday following the Israeli army's "escalation", a Lebanese military source told AFP.

The strikes have since expanded to other areas, and more than 10 fighters, mostly from Kataeb Hezbollah, have been killed across Iraq since Saturday.

Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is intensifying strikes on Iran and Hezbollah, vowing stronger action as the conflict escalates. He stated the war may take time but rejected claims it would last years.

Israel used its Iron Beam laser defence system in combat for the first time to intercept Hezbollah rockets mid-air, marking a significant shift in regional warfare following escalating tensions after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s killing.

Israel began bombarding Beirut's southern suburbs and dozens of villages in south Lebanon, vowing to make the group pay a "heavy price".

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.

The October 7 Hamas attack triggered a chain reaction that weakened Iran’s regional proxies, emboldened Israel’s military campaign and fundamentally shifted the balance of power across the Middle East.

US-Israel attacks on Iran have triggered widespread retaliation, hitting multiple Gulf countries and escalating regional conflict.

The US State Department is evacuating non-essential staff from its Beirut embassy amid rising Iran tensions, as President Donald Trump boosts military deployments and warns of consequences if nuclear talks fail.

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.

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.

The Lebanese military said Israel was preventing the full implementation of a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.

Israel declares its Iron Beam laser defense system operational after final tests. Aimed at rockets, drones and mortars, it could reshape air defense.

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

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-aligned militias including Kataib Hezbollah, had also claimed attacks on sites near the Jordan-Syria border, including the Al-Rukban camp close to Tower 22.

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.
