Iran Israel War Live Updates: US strikes Iranian radar sites after shooting down 4 drones launched toward Hormuz
Lebanon’s leaders urged Iran to halt interference in its affairs amid escalating clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, which rejected a truce proposal. Israeli strikes targeted over 40 sites in Lebanon, while Hezbollah claimed attacks on Israeli troops in the south, following Hezbollah’s March 2 offensive after Iran’s supreme leader was killed on February 28.
Lebanon’s political leaders called on Iran to cease meddling in the country’s internal affairs on Friday, as tensions surged between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah. The escalation followed the rejection of a proposed truce by Hezbollah, which had launched attacks on Israel on March 2 in retaliation for the February 28 assassination of Iran’s supreme leader. Israeli airstrikes hit more than 40 locations in Lebanon, according to Lebanese state media, while Hezbollah reported new attacks targeting Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon. The clashes mark a deterioration of the fragile ceasefire efforts, with both sides exchanging fire along the border. The conflict expanded to Lebanon after Hezbollah’s March 2 offensive, which was framed as vengeance for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader. Since then, Israel has conducted repeated strikes on Hezbollah positions, while the group has targeted Israeli military outposts and civilian areas. Lebanese officials warned that the country’s sovereignty was being undermined by external actors, particularly Iran, which supports Hezbollah with weapons and funding. The situation remains volatile, with no immediate signs of de-escalation despite international calls for restraint.
