Israeli Drone Strikes Aluminum Plant in Lebanon Amid Escalating Conflict

Hezbollah retaliates with border attacks as violence extends from Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas.

An Israeli drone strike targeted an aluminum plant in Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon, causing a fire and extensive damage.
This strike is the first to hit the area since the 34-day war in 2006 between Israel and Hezbollah.
Hezbollah has been carrying out attacks on Israeli posts along the border, and Israel has been responding with artillery shelling and airstrikes on the Lebanese side of the border.
Hezbollah claims to have shot down an Israeli drone near the border, while Israel says it intercepted a missile fired at one of its drones.
The violence between Israel and Hezbollah is an extension of Israel's conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which began after a Hamas attack on southern Israel killed about 1,200 people.
