KEY POINTS

  • •Hezbollah fired several missiles into Israel on Sunday following U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran.
  • •Israel's military retaliated with targeted strikes on senior Hezbollah operatives in Beirut and southern Lebanon.
  • •Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam condemned the missile attack as reckless and warned against dragging Lebanon into the conflict.

In an East Mediterranean episode titled 'Missiles, Might, and Multi-Front Madness,' Hezbollah launched a couple of missiles from Lebanon at Israel on Sunday, just after the U.S. and Israel tagged Iran in their latest airstrike version of 'who’s the boss.' The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) weren’t having a chill Sunday—they 'carried out a targeted strike' on senior Hezbollah figures in Beirut, unleashing their 'Operation Roaring Lion' like a feline on Red Bull. Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam called Hezbollah’s retaliation for the allegedly killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei 'reckless,' as Israel retaliated with strikes including Beirut—because nothing says 'calm negotiations' like missiles and explosions in capital cities.
