Hezbollah has deployed elite fighters to confront Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, sending them back into the border region from which they withdrew after a war in 2024, three Lebanese sources familiar with the deployments says,

The key turning point for the axis was Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel. While Iran may not have directly orchestrated Hamas’s attack, the war it triggered allowed Israel to systematically degrade Tehran’s allies.

In the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning, Hezbollah opened a new front in the US-Israeli war against Iran when it launched “missiles and a swarm of drones” at a military base in northern Israel.

The Iran-backed Lebanese militia attacks its powerful opponent with rockets and drones, widening the front in the regional conflict.

In a televised address, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem says his group’s resumption of rocket attacks on Israel this week is a response to Israel’s continued presence and airstrik

Reservist Party leader Yoaz Hendel tells the ‘Post’ that Israel must seize the "tectonic shift" in the Middle East to demilitarize Southern Lebanon and establish a permanent security buffer zone.

Israel promptly responded by killing Hezbollah’s intelligence chief and bombing Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. On Tuesday, Israel even sent more ground forces into southern Lebanon and warned 80 villages to evacuate.
