In a bold escalation, Hezbollah has carried out precision drone strikes targeting Israel’s Ramat David Airbase, specifically hitting the control room and radar systems.

The group claimed the attack as a direct reprisal against Israel’s recent aerial bombardments over Lebanese territory.

Israeli forces swiftly responded with heavy airstrikes over southern Beirut, signaling an intensification of hostilities.

In a precautionary measure, Israel issued evacuation orders for 59 additional towns in Lebanon, warning residents that proximity to Hezbollah installations could pose severe danger. Civilians were urged to relocate at least one kilometer away from high-risk zones.

The developments mark a dramatic escalation in the ongoing Lebanon-Israel tensions, raising fears of further retaliation and a potential widening of the conflict in the region.
