The Israeli military also claimed to have killed 90 “terrorists” in southern Lebanon since the conflict began on February 28, while two of these Hezbollah militants were killed in the last 24 hours, Al Jazeera reported.

The hostilities in the region began on February 28 with the US and Israel’s joint strikes against Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran’s retaliation and strikes by its proxies in West Asia widened the scope of the conflict to the whole Gulf region, disrupting oil and natural gas trade. (ANI)
