Israeli Strikes Kill Two in Southern Lebanon, Hospital Hit in Tibnin

Israeli forces conducted targeted airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Friday, killing two suspected armed individuals operating in the combat zone against Hezbollah. In a separate incident, an Israeli airstrike severely damaged a public hospital in the southern Lebanese city of Tibnin, drawing sharp condemnation from Lebanon's health ministry. The attacks mark an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, which has controlled much of southern Lebanon for years and maintains significant military capabilities along Israel's northern border.
