Israel conducted a significant airstrike on Hezbollah's central headquarters in Beirut, resulting in multiple explosions and extensive damage to buildings. This operation follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the U.N., where he reaffirmed Israel's commitment to combat Hezbollah. The Israeli military intensified its strikes this week, targeting Hezbollah's leadership and infrastructure in response to ongoing rocket fire from the group. The recent bombings have led to a rising death toll in Lebanon, with at least 25 reported killed in the latest strikes. Hezbollah has not responded to calls for a cease-fire, and tensions remain high as both sides continue to exchange fire. Israeli officials indicate that their military objectives in Lebanon differ from those in Gaza, focusing on pushing Hezbollah away from the border.
