The strikes, purportedly targeting Hezbollah positions, have ignited fears of a wider conflict in the region.
Amid the devastation, an Israeli soldier also lost his life in cross-border rocket fire, exacerbating tensions on both sides. The toll of civilian casualties underscores the human cost of the ongoing hostilities.
In the city of Nabatiyeh, four children, three women, and a man were killed in a single strike, according to hospital sources. Shockingly, the victims had no affiliation with Hezbollah, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the attacks.

Failure to do so risks plunging the region into yet another devastating conflict with far-reaching consequences.
In the face of mounting casualties and escalating violence, the imperative for peace has never been more urgent.
