Israeli airstrikes intensified across Lebanon, with a significant escalation as Israel targeted Beirut's southern suburb, Dahieh. The strike allegedly killed Ibrahim Kobeissy, a high-ranking Hezbollah commander. This marked a significant expansion of the conflict, bringing it closer to Beirut. Hezbollah responded with heavy rocket barrages targeting Israeli cities, including Haifa and Afula. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported 569 martyrs since the conflict's escalation. Diplomatic efforts intensified, with French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian meeting Lebanese officials and U.S. President Biden warning of a "full-scale war." Netanyahu addressed Lebanese citizens, urging them to "rid themselves of Nasrallah's grip." The conflict's expansion raised concerns about a potential wider regional war, with Iran's role being scrutinized.
