Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam announced on March 2nd that his government will prohibit Hezbollah’s armed operations throughout the country. The announcement comes after Israel conducted strikes against facilities connected to Hezbollah in response to the militant group’s recent missile and drone attacks.
The escalation follows unconfirmed reports regarding the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which appears to have triggered the series of retaliatory actions between the groups. Israel targeted what it described as Hezbollah-affiliated locations after the organization launched its attacks using missiles and unmanned aircraft.
