Israel launched widespread airstrikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, including in Beirut, and issued evacuation warnings for dozens of areas in the south. Hezbollah responded with strikes into northern Israel. The Israeli military stated it struck financial facilities linked to the group and named Hezbollah's deputy leader as a target, warning of a potential ground invasion.
The Lebanese government announced an immediate ban on Hezbollah's military activities, requiring the group to disarm its military wing, following the rocket fire toward Israel.
The death toll from the Israeli strikes in Lebanon has risen, with the Health Ministry reporting at least 31 killed and 149 wounded overnight.
The U.S. Embassy in Jordan was temporarily evacuated after a security threat, amid heightened regional tensions.
