Tensions escalated dramatically between Israel and Hezbollah. In the morning, reports emerged of Hezbollah launching over 100 rockets at northern Israel. By afternoon, Israel conducted airstrikes on southern Beirut, targeting Hezbollah positions. The strikes reportedly killed Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander, along with several other high-ranking officials. Israel claimed to have eliminated 10 senior Hezbollah commanders, including the "number two military figure." The US urged its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. Iran's leaders condemned the Israeli actions, with some officials hinting at potential retaliation. The UN Security Council called an emergency meeting to address the situation. Throughout the day, both sides continued to exchange fire, with Hezbollah launching additional rockets and Israel conducting further strikes in Lebanon.
