Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the continuation of military operations against Iran, emphasizing the intensification of airstrikes on Iranian regime sites and sensitive military institutions, and threatening a stronger response if Hezbollah intervenes.
For its part, Iran responded to the Israeli attacks, while Hezbollah launched rockets towards northern Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei during the recent strikes.
These developments come amid ongoing escalation since the outbreak of the conflict in late February, with increasing fighting between the parties and rising regional and international concerns about the widening scope of the war.
