Israel intensifies strikes in Lebanon, aiming to weaken Hezbollah

Israel has significantly increased its military strikes in Lebanon, conducting major raids in the east. The country's representative at the UN stated the goal is to 'dismantle Hezbollah's fortress,' with some Israeli officials reportedly seeing a chance to severely damage the group.

France is increasing military aid to Lebanon and President Macron has called on both Hezbollah and Israel to halt attacks. The fighting continues, with the IDF reporting that rocket fire from Lebanon recently wounded eight Israeli soldiers at a border outpost.
