These actions are seen as part of a broader strategy to bolster security in light of rising tensions.4. Lebanon: The conflict has seen deadly exchanges along the Israel-Lebanon border, with recent rocket attacks from Hezbollah resulting in casualties, including the death of an Israeli citizen and foreign workers. The IDF has responded with targeted strikes against Hezbollah positions, indicating a firm stance against incursions from the north.5. Syria: Airstrikes attributed to Israel have targeted Iranian military assets in Syria, aimed at degrading the military capabilities of Iranian forces and their proxies in the region.
