Despite losing several key members in recent relentless airstrikes by Israel that killed over 2,000 innocent Lebanese, Hezbollah has vowed to continue fighting Israel.

As per reports, Hezbollah engaged with Israeli forces in early hours of Thursday, with the armed group claiming responsibly for launching a new type of drone and missile attack against the occupiers.

Rockets were reportedly fired at Tel Aviv, with Hezbollah confirming the latest blow the group suffered: killing of its acting head, Safidduin, by Israel after assassinating the group’s famed leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Meanwhile, several Israelis soldiers were also killed in a confrontation with Hamas in the Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza.

The ongoing siege of Gaza by Israeli military has intensified, especially as Israel grows emboldened after taking out two of Hamas’s leader, Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, in a span of few months.

According to reports, Israel issued an order for complete evacuation of almost 1.5 million residents from northern Gaza. Despite the fact the stranded Palestinians have nowhere to go, and the entire encircled enclave has been decimated by brutal Israeli bombardment for a year now.

The occupying force has laid siege on Gaza for a year now, with the densely populated area bombarded with airstrikes since October 2023.

Israeli brutality has led to over 43,000 innocent Palestinians losing their lives. Among the casualties are 15,000 children.

The humanitarian situation is dire, with reports of over 770 Palestinians having been martyred and over 1,000 injured over the past 19 days of the Jabalia massacre alone.
