A tense situation has unfolded between Israel and Lebanon as an unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to Hezbollah was intercepted by an Israeli fighter jet near the border of the two countries. In response, Israel has launched a massive airstrike on more than 40 Hezbollah sites, citing self-defense as their motive. The militant group retaliated by firing drones and hundreds of rockets towards Israel.
The sound of warning sirens filled the air in northern Israel, causing panic among the residents. Flights at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport were also affected, with all incoming planes being redirected and suspended. In southern Lebanon, explosions could be heard as the military's Iron Dome aerial defense system successfully intercepted missiles.
Meanwhile, in a swift and coordinated effort, around 100 Israeli fighter jets carried out airstrikes on what the IDF commander estimated to be "thousands" of Hezbollah sites across Lebanon. The tension between the two countries has escalated, and both sides seem to be engaged in a fierce battle.
