US EditionIsrael strikes Lebanon following Hezbollah attacks, widening conflict
Hezbollah launched rockets and drones in retaliation for Iran's Supreme Leader's killing; Israel struck over 50 Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, killing at least 31, officials said.
- On March 2, 2026, the Israel Defense Forces struck Hezbollah, Lebanese militant group targets across Lebanon after missiles and drones were launched toward northern Israel.
- Hezbollah said the missile-and-drone attack was retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and for repeated `aggressions`, two days after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
- Strikes hit Beirut's Dahiyeh, southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley; the IDF said one projectile was intercepted and others fell in open areas with no injuries.
- Lebanon's NNA reported major displacement as residents fled Beirut's southern suburbs, and about 50 villages were evacuated following IDF warnings and a suspected drone strike at RAF Akrotiri.
- Operation Roaring Lion positions Israel for multi-front combat and links the strikes to a wider U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran, raising regional escalation risk.
