Nov 20, 2025 : In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, Israel’s military conducted airstrikes across Lebanon and Gaza, targeting what it described as militant infrastructure linked to Hezbollah and Hamas. The strikes reportedly resulted in dozens of casualties, though exact figures remain unconfirmed.
The Israeli Defense Forces stated that the operation was in response to recent cross-border attacks, including rocket fire and infiltration attempts. The airstrikes targeted weapons depots, command centers, and tunnel networks used by militant groups.
International reactions have been mixed. The United Nations and several European governments have called for restraint and urged both sides to return to diplomatic dialogue. Meanwhile, regional actors such as Iran and Syria have condemned the strikes, warning of potential retaliation.
The situation remains volatile, with fears of a broader conflict spreading across the Middle East. Analysts suggest that unless de-escalation efforts are initiated soon, the region could face a prolonged period of instability.
