Israel-Iran War Live: Israel Opens Offensive Campaign on Hezbollah; Dozens Dead, Beirut Orders Action

Israel-Iran War Live Updates: Hezbollah fired a large wave of rockets into northern Israel, marking its first major attack since the November 2024 ceasefire, on Monday. The rockets hit several areas near the border, and air raid sirens sounded across the region. In response, Israel pounded Beirut. This marks a fresh escalation amid the ongoing crisis. Meanwhile, Iran has blamed US President Donald Trump for the conflict in West Asia, suggesting that he is sacrificing US soldiers for Israel. “We will not negotiate with the United States,” he wrote online.

Tensions rose after the United States and Israel carried out airstrikes inside Iran on Saturday. The strikes targeted senior leaders and military sites, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles toward Israel and Gulf nations hosting US bases. Officials warned that more attacks could follow. Donald Trump said the airstrikes aimed to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and called on the Iranian people to rise up after the operation ends.
