Hezbollah Retaliates with 100 Missiles After IDF Kills Commander

In a significant escalation of hostilities, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a relentless barrage of approximately 100 missiles towards northern Israel, marking a deadly retaliation for the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) targeted strike that claimed the life of a top Hezbollah commander.

The strike, which occurred late last night, has been described as a retaliatory move by Hezbollah following the IDF's operation in southern Lebanon, where senior commander Taleb Abdullah was killed. Abdullah was reportedly targeted in a strike in Lebanon's coastal town of Jouaiyya, according to sources.

Hezbollah's retaliation underscores the escalating tensions between the militant group and Israel, with analysts describing the situation as volatile and potentially leading to further violence in the region. The missile attack, which targeted areas in northern Israel, has heightened fears of a broader conflict.

The IDF has been placed on high alert, with Israeli officials closely monitoring the situation and assessing the extent of the damage caused by the missile strikes. Reports indicate that while some missiles were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system, others caused damage to property and infrastructure in the targeted areas.

Hezbollah, known for its sophisticated missile arsenal, has vowed to continue its attacks until it perceives justice for the death of its senior commander. The group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has previously warned of swift retaliation against Israeli aggression, signaling a potentially prolonged period of conflict between the two adversaries.

As tensions remain high, international efforts to de-escalate the situation are underway, with diplomatic channels being explored to prevent further escalation and loss of life.
