IDF announces strikes deep inside Lebanon in response to attack on Golan Heights

The situation between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated with near-daily cross-border attacks, resulting in hundreds of deaths. Despite indications that both sides were trying to avoid a major confrontation, a miscalculation led to a deadly missile strike on Majdal Shams, a Druze community in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, killing at least 12 children and teens. Israel blames Hezbollah for the attack, while the Lebanese group denies responsibility. The Israeli military has carried out a series of strikes across Lebanon, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to hold Hezbollah accountable. Diplomats are scrambling to prevent a surge in fighting, but concerns about an all-out regional war are rising. The incident has been described as the deadliest attack on Israeli civilians in nine months of near-daily exchanges of fire between the two sides.
