Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate against Iran. The Israeli military has launched airstrikes and ground operations in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah strongholds. The IDF has also identified and neutralized 150 terrorist installations along the border with Israel.
#### **International Reactions**
The US has been closely monitoring the situation, with officials warning of the potential for “mission creep” and urging Israel to avoid large-scale combat. The US and France are advocating for a ceasefire proposal, but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s authorization of a strike against Hezbollah’s leader has cast doubt on the initiative.

The missile strike has sparked mixed reactions in Iran. While some Iranians celebrated in the streets, others expressed fear and anxiety about the possibility of war encroaching on their lives. Iranian officials have warned the US and other allies of Israel to refrain from intervening, stating that Iranian missiles would directly target their bases if they engaged in any potential Israeli offensive against Iran.
