Hezbollah Launches Full-Scale Escalation, Claims 60 Strikes on Israel in 24 Hours
Hezbollah has announced a significant escalation in its military operations against Israel, claiming it carried out approximately 60 attacks within a single day. The strikes reportedly included coordinated waves of drones and missiles targeting military sites and strategic positions inside Israeli territory.
According to statements cited by Al Jazeera, the offensive marks one of the group’s most intense operations in recent weeks. It reportedly combined aerial assaults with ground clashes in southern Lebanon, including ambushes against Israeli forces advancing near the border.
Hezbollah also claimed that four Israeli Merkava tanks were destroyed or disabled during the fighting. However, there has been no independent verification of these claims. If confirmed, the losses would represent a notable level of damage within a short period.
The escalation follows heightened tensions after the reported killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut, a development that may have triggered a broader and more aggressive response.
The situation indicates a continued upward trajectory in the intensity of the conflict.
