Reciprocal attacks resume between Iran and Israel, raising regional escalation fears

Reciprocal attacks between Iran and Israel have resumed, with Iran citing an Israeli bombing in Beirut as retaliation. Israel vows continued action against Hezbollah, fueling regional conflict fears after a fragile ceasefire.
Reciprocal attacks between Iran and Israel have resumed, following Iranian missile launches towards Israeli territory. Iran described its actions as a "warning," retaliating for an Israeli bombing in Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, which resulted in two deaths and 20 injuries. Israel's Defense Minister affirmed the country "will continue to act" in Lebanon against Hezbollah. This escalation, which also involved Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi forces in Yemen, threatens a fragile two-month ceasefire and raises concerns about broader regional conflict.
