Israeli Prime Minister Orders Military to Intensify Attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the country's military to escalate strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of efforts to eliminate the militant organization. Israel claims to have killed hundreds of Hezbollah fighters despite ongoing ceasefire discussions. The directive represents a further intensification of military operations in Lebanon, where Israel has been conducting attacks against the Iran-backed group. The escalation comes amid broader regional tensions and raises questions about the prospects for any potential ceasefire agreement between the two sides.
