Israel conducted strikes on Hezbollah in Beirut and regime targets in Tehran after identifying missile launches from Iran, with over 1,000 killed and one million displaced in Lebanon, officials said.

  • Early Saturday, the Israeli military announced a new wave of strikes on Beirut, Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah, and said it also hit "regime targets" in Tehran, Iran.

  • Growing indicators—troop movements and long-range launches—suggest the conflict could spread further as US media report deployments of thousands of marines and missile launches toward Diego Garcia indicate Iran’s longer-range capability.
