The skies over southern Lebanon witnessed a fresh escalation on Sunday as Iran-backed Hezbollah claimed it launched a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli fighter jet flying over the Nabatiyeh region. According to the Iranian media, the missile targeted an Israeli warplane during ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel. Footage circulating on social media appeared to show the missile tracking the aircraft, while the jet reportedly deployed defensive flares and maneuvered to evade the strike. The authenticity of the footage and the claims have not been independently verified. The incident came hours after Israel carried out airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, killing at least two people and wounding several others, according to Lebanese authorities. Israel said the strikes targeted Hezbollah command centers in response to attacks on northern Israel.
