Israel targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters in Lebanon overnight, assessing damage following a series of attacks on senior figures in the group, including a possible hit on a potential successor to Hassan Nasrallah. The strikes are part of Israel’s response to recent Iranian missile attacks, following Israeli military action in Lebanon.
As tension rises, oil prices have surged due to concerns over potential Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities. The conflict has escalated with Israeli forces launching airstrikes in Beirut, intensifying a wider conflict that has displaced over 1.2 million Lebanese.
The fate of senior Hezbollah figure Hashem Safieddine, rumored to be a successor to Nasrallah, remains unclear. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has suggested alternatives to attacking Iranian oil fields, but indicated that Israel has not decided on its response yet.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed continued resistance, encouraging regional allies to confront Israel.
