The killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by an Israeli airstrike has intensified the conflict in the Middle East. Iran and its allies condemned the attack and threatened retaliation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the event a 'historic turning point' in the fight against Israel's enemies. The Israeli Air Force has continued to launch multiple strikes on Hezbollah strongholds, emphasizing Nasrallah's role as a key figure in Iran's regional influence.
US President Joe Biden described Nasrallah's killing as an act of justice, reaffirming America's support for Israel's right to self-defense. The US has maintained a strong military presence, ready to support Israel if needed.
Meanwhile, France has called for an immediate cessation of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, urging restraint from Hezbollah and Iran. The conflict has led to significant casualties and displacement, with up to a million people fleeing their homes in Lebanon.
In response to Nasrallah’s death, Hezbollah has launched rocket attacks on northern Israel. The Israeli military has also targeted Houthi positions in Yemen, accusing them of facilitating Iranian arms shipments.
This multifaceted conflict risks spiraling into a broader regional war, with international calls for diplomacy growing louder. Netanyahu insists that these actions are necessary to alter the regional balance of power, while global leaders push for dialogue to restore stability.
