Hezbollah is actively engaging Israeli forces in eastern Lebanon, responding to Israeli strikes and the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Israeli forces, including helicopters, infiltrated from the Syrian border, leading to clashes in areas like Nabi Sheet. Israel has launched multiple waves of strikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs and other areas, and has sent ground troops into border towns like Odaisseh and Aitaroun. These actions have resulted in significant casualties, with Lebanon's health minister Ministry of Public Health (Lebanon) reporting 394 deaths in Lebanon over the past week, including many civilians. Israel has also reported two soldier fatalities. The conflict has drawn Lebanon into a broader Middle East war, with both sides suffering losses and infrastructure damage. Residents of Beirut suburbs and southern Lebanon have been advised to evacuate.
