Israel intensifies strikes on Lebanon as Netanyahu vows to crush Hezbollah

Israel has stepped up its military strikes in Lebanon, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the military to intensify attacks on Hezbollah targets. The escalation comes after Hezbollah launched what it called its largest drone attack ever against northern Israel. The Israeli military also issued evacuation warnings for the city of Nabatieh and other areas in southern Lebanon ahead of planned strikes.

Netanyahu has vowed to 'crush' Hezbollah, and the intensified bombardment has effectively shattered a US-brokered truce that had been in place. The fighting now extends across multiple fronts, including Gaza and southern Lebanon, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
