Israel Hezbollah War Highlights: Israel strikes fuel tanks, other targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port
Israel Hezbollah War Highlights: On Sunday, Israel intensified its military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, targeting numerous sites following the killing of the group's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The Israeli military reported that its air force struck various Hezbollah installations, including missile launchers and weapon storage facilities. On Friday, a significant airstrike on Nasrallah’s headquarters in Beirut resulted in his death, marking a major setback for Hezbollah and its Iranian allies. Despite this loss, Hezbollah vowed to continue its fight against Israel, launching rockets even on Sunday morning.
The recent escalation has raised concerns about the potential for broader conflict, potentially involving Iran and the U.S. Since the onset of hostilities on October 8, over 1,670 people, including 104 children, have reportedly died in Lebanon due to Israeli strikes. Many families in Beirut are now displaced, living in makeshift conditions, while the UN's World Food Programme has initiated emergency food operations for up to a million affected individuals.

Israel-Hezbollah war: Hezbollah denies Israeli 'claims' of weapons depots in civilian buildings
Hezbollah issued a statement on Saturday refuting Israeli allegations that the group had been storing armaments in residential areas. The statement came in response to a new wave of Israeli attacks on the southern outskirts of Beirut, which Israel claimed were aimed at Hezbollah's weapons caches.
In a message disseminated by its media office, Hezbollah stated, "There is no truth to the false Zionist enemy claims about the presence of weapons or weapons depots in civilian buildings that it targeted with bombardment in the southern suburbs a short while ago." The group firmly denied the accusations made by Israel.
According to the Lebanese National News Agency, Israel has carried out at least 11 new strikes in the region so far. The escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have raised concerns about the stability of the area and the potential for further conflict.
