Middle East sees escalation with Israeli, Hezbollah, and Iranian strikes

A series of escalations unfolded in the Middle East over two days, beginning with an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on June 6, which reportedly killed nine people, three days after a ceasefire agreement. The following day, June 7, Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel, prompting Israeli retaliatory airstrikes on the Dahiya suburb of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold. Later on June 7, Iran launched ballistic missiles towards northern Israel, marking the first such attack since an April 8 ceasefire. In response, Israel's Home Front Command implemented stricter public restrictions and canceled school nationwide. While Israeli officials indicated an intent to respond forcefully, former US President Donald Trump urged Israel to exercise restraint.
