In Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike targeted a village, killing four individuals. Hezbollah, which has been engaged in frequent clashes with Israeli forces, continues to launch attacks, contributing to a rising death toll in the region. The conflict has drawn international concern, with leaders from Egypt and Turkey actively seeking ways to de-escalate the situation and prevent a wider regional war.
