Israel has launched strikes on multiple Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, its military announced on Sunday night.
The Israel Defense Forces is currently striking Hezbollah, one of Iran’s terrorist proxies in the region, “with force,” according to its air force. The targets are located “across” Lebanon, with explosions felt in its capital, Beirut.
The strikes are in response to missiles launched by Hezbollah toward northern Israel. The terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was launched in retaliation for the killing of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in Israel from that missile barrage.
Israel has long been clashing with Hezbollah, having been at war with the group in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack by Hamas.
But the strikes come at a precarious time for the region. Israel and the U.S. have just begun a coordinated bombing campaign against Iran that is designed to topple its regime.
Israel now engaging with one of its proxies threatens to expand that conflict into a wider regional war.
