Lebanon experiences a violent escalation as Israeli attacks resulting in the loss of five lives.

Israel has intensified its airstrikes in Syria, with hundreds of attacks reported since the fall of the government of former Syrian President Bashar Assad in December. The latest round of attacks, which occurred today, targeted Hezbollah positions in various parts of Lebanon and Syria.

In Lebanon, the attacks hit the peripheries of the provinces of Hermel and Bekaa, with four members of Hezbollah reportedly killed, according to a Hezbollah official. The Lebanese Ministry of Health also reported that five people were injured in these attacks. However, the search results do not contain information about who conducted the attacks on Hezbollah positions in these provinces.

The Lebanese government has recently supported a plan to gradually disarm Hezbollah, but the militant group refuses to discuss disarmament until Israel stops attacks and withdraws from five points in Lebanon. The Lebanese government opposes any direct confrontation with Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, in Syria, the Israeli Air Force is reported to have attacked Hezbollah's positions and infrastructure, including a training area for the Radwan Forces, the group's elite. Just before midnight today, pro-government media reported Israeli airstrikes on a military post in the coastal province of Latakia. It is not yet clear if the attack on a military post in Homs caused casualties. The state news agency SANA reported an airstrike in Latakia without specifying the target.

Israel carried out airstrikes in the central province of Homs in Syria today, according to Syrian state media. The Israeli army has not commented on the airstrikes in Homs and Latakia yet. Hezbollah has not fired at Israel since November.

Interestingly, Hezbollah claims it no longer has an armed presence south of the Litani River, but it remains to be seen if this claim extends to the areas targeted in today's attacks. The recent attacks near Israel's southern border with Lebanon are rare, as attacks in northeastern Lebanon, near Syria, are usually uncommon.

It is unclear if the Lebanese government has made any response regarding these recent airstrikes in Syria, and there is no information provided about any Israeli withdrawal from the five points in Lebanon. As tensions continue to rise in the region, it is crucial for all parties involved to seek peaceful resolution and avoid further escalation.
