Israel strikes Beirut again, vows ‘significant’ response to Iran missile attack

Israel launched new airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Wednesday, hours after repelling a massive missile attack by Iran. The aerial assault comes a day after the Israel Defense Forces initiated a “limited, localised and targeted” ground operation against the Iran-backed militant group.
Israeli officials plan a “significant retaliation” against Iran’s missile barrage in the coming days, according to a report by Axios. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards earlier issued a stern warning to Israel, vowing “crushing attacks” if it retaliates.
The escalation stoked fears of an all-out regional war as tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran continue to intensify.
