AI Summary
Main Idea: Hezbollah’s missile fire into Israel triggered fresh Israeli strikes on Lebanon, widening the war already centered on Iran and drawing in U.S. military leaders as they prepared to brief Congress.
Key Points:
- Hezbollah said it fired in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, and Israel ответed with strikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon.
- The Israeli military said it targeted senior Hezbollah members and ordered civilians in nearly 50 villages to leave the area.
- U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine were set to brief reporters on the Iran operation and later update Congress.
- The fighting spread across the region, with Iran-backed attacks reported in Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Cyprus, and near U.S. and British bases.
