Massive escalation in the Middle East as Iran-backed Hezbollah unleashes a wave of coordinated attacks on Israel. The Lebanon-based militant group claims it carried out 43 military operations in a single day, targeting Israeli Defence Forces positions across multiple locations. From precision drone strikes in the Golan Heights to direct hits on Merkava tanks, Hezbollah says it struck key Israeli military infrastructure. Rocket barrages rained down on northern Israeli cities including Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya, while explosive drone swarms targeted troop concentrations near the border. The group also claims strikes on major Israeli bases, including the Meron air surveillance facility and underground infrastructure in multiple settlements.
