In Lebanon, Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for 39 attacks today, marking the highest number recorded since the onset of hostilities. Following Israel's recent airstrikes, reports emerged of substantial damage in the Dahiya district of Beirut, specifically targeting a building associated with Hezbollah.
