The Israeli military has been on high alert, with the United States positioning ships and aircraft in the region to assist in case of an attack from Iran. Iran, a supporter of Hezbollah in Lebanon, has been at the center of this conflict.
The Israeli army has been actively engaging in defense operations, intercepting threats and urging its citizens to stay close to sheltered areas. Meanwhile, Iran has remained silent, with Iranian media showcasing videos of missile launches but no official acknowledgment.
Recent rocket and missile attacks from Lebanon have further heightened the tensions, leading Israel to conduct limited ground operations against Hezbollah.

Despite the ongoing crisis, both sides seem prepared for a prolonged confrontation. Israel continues to conduct ground raids into Lebanon, focusing on dismantling Hezbollah’s infrastructure, while Hezbollah vows to keep firing rockets into Israel.
As the situation unfolds, European countries are evacuating their diplomats and citizens from Lebanon, anticipating further escalation in the conflict.
