These attacks come after an unprecedented escalation, with Israeli airstrikes covering many parts of Lebanon, including the capital, Beirut, where Hezbollah's air force commander was assassinated in a raid carried out by a US-made F-35 warplane.

The US Defense Secretary emphasized that a diplomatic solution remains viable, stating that it is the best way to ensure the safe return of displaced people on both sides.
