Israel Strikes Lebanon After Ceasefire, Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz

Hours after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect, Israeli forces carried out strikes in southern Lebanon. The IDF confirmed the attacks, saying Hezbollah had fired around 50 projectiles at Israeli troops overnight. At least 16 people were killed in the strikes, according to reports from Lebanon.

In a separate development, Iran announced it was closing the Strait of Hormuz, citing the Israeli strikes on Lebanon as the reason. The move raised concerns about global oil shipments, as the strait is a key passage for tankers. Hezbollah said it confronted an "infiltration attempt" by Israeli forces in the south, but the ceasefire remained in place on paper.
