Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant expressed strong condemnation towards Hezbollah, stating that the militant group had 'crossed the red line.' This statement came shortly after Israel conducted a retaliatory strike in southern Beirut on Tuesday.
The Israeli military claimed responsibility for targeting a Hezbollah commander, whom they held responsible for a recent deadly assault in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. This retaliatory strike was described as a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group.
