Israel continues strikes in Lebanon, hits Houthi targets in Yemen – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

The Israeli military hit Lebanon with more airstrikes on Sunday after killing the Hezbollah militant group's leader and other officials, and also bombed Houthi targets in Yemen, as Israel stepped up its offensive against Iran and its proxies.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Sunday that its airstrikes in Lebanon had also killed other Hezbollah commanders, a day after the Iran-backed militant group confirmed that Hassan Nasrallah, its leader since 1992, had been killed in an Israeli attack on Friday.

The attacks have dealt stunning blows to Hezbollah after almost a year of cross-border fire, killing much of its leadership.
