Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Hezbollah Joins the War

… The group framed the attack as “revenge for the blood of the Supreme Leader of the Muslims, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,” and as a response to what it called repeated Israeli violations in Lebanon.

The IDF confirmed rockets were launched from southern Lebanon. One was intercepted; others fell in open areas. No injuries or major damage were reported.

Within minutes, Israel launched retaliatory airstrikes across Lebanon. Targets reportedly included:
— Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh), a Hezbollah stronghold.
— Sites in southern Lebanon.
— Locations in the Bekaa Valley.
— Infrastructure and what Israel described as senior Hezbollah figures.

Israel also issued evacuation warnings to residents of nearly 50 villages in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned Hezbollah’s rocket fire as an “irresponsible and suspicious act” that risks Lebanon’s security and provides Israel justification for further strikes.

Karma. Or Allah expressing his preferences via the IDF.
