Air raid sirens have sounded across northern Israel after a suspected Hezbollah drone infiltration from Lebanon, triggering panic in multiple communities. Fierce clashes continue in Bint Jbeil where Israeli forces have failed to break through despite multi-directional assaults. Hezbollah claims to have launched dozens of operations targeting military sites, cities and advancing troops using rockets and drones. Leader Naim Qassem has rejected US-backed talks and demanded ceasefire enforcement, warning of continued resistance. The situation signals a major escalation with growing fears of a wider regional conflict and prolonged instability across the Middle East.#Hezbollah #Israel #Lebanon #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #DroneAttack #Galilee #WarAlert #BintJbeil #Geopolitics #Conflict
