Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut and Iranian military sites following escalating attacks, significantly raising regional tensions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Beirut following rocket attacks on northern Israel, and subsequently struck Iranian military targets after Iran launched missiles in response. Netanyahu reiterated that Israel would not allow attacks on its territory to go unanswered or permit Iran to establish a framework where it can retaliate freely against Israeli operations. Regional tensions have risen sharply following the exchanges, with warnings issued from Iran and increased pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to avoid further escalation. Gold, oil, and broader markets are reacting to the heightened risk environment.
