Hezbollah and Israel exchange major strikes across Lebanon border

Hezbollah, with support from Iran, launched coordinated attacks on Israel, including cluster bomb strikes. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel in response. The Israeli military, the IDF, retaliated with what it described as large-scale strikes on Beirut and other locations in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions.

Israeli strikes in Lebanon since early March have reportedly killed hundreds of people and displaced hundreds of thousands. The IDF chief stated that thousands of Iranian soldiers and commanders have been killed in Israeli strikes. The cross-border fighting represents a significant escalation in the conflict.
