In a significant development, Hezbollah has reportedly evacuated its headquarters in the Beirut suburb of Dahieh, according to Lebanese media reports. The move follows the assassination of the group's top military commander, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut earlier this month, and the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Hezbollah, anticipating potential Israeli strikes in retaliation for these assassinations, has taken the drastic step of relocating its senior personnel away from its stronghold in Beirut. According to the Lebanese news outlet Al Joumhouria, the evacuation includes not only Hezbollah’s military operations but also its political wing, signalling the gravity of the situation.

Hezbollah has unleashed a massive rocket attack on an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories, targeting the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division. The assault is a direct response to Israel’s ongoing strikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon and is also intended to show support for Palestinians in Gaza. With Israel’s Iron Dome failing to intercept most of the missiles, the attack has sparked a major fire in Galilee and intensified the conflict. Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has vowed to defend Lebanon and avenge recent assassinations of key figures. Watch to see how this escalation might affect the region.

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Israeli fighter jets launched a series of powerful airstrikes on Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon’s Odaisseh, targeting key buildings used by the militant group. The strikes came in response to a barrage of rockets and missiles fired by Hezbollah at northern Israel, including one that hit the evacuated border community of Netu’a. While no injuries were reported, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded with intense artillery fire on the rocket launch sites, amplifying the already volatile situation. The fierce exchange has left the region on edge, with fears of further escalation looming large.
