On August 25, Israel launched a series of intense air strikes in southern Lebanon, marking what it described as a preemptive strike against the Hezbollah militant group. This move has raised concerns about the potential for a broader regional war, which could undermine ongoing efforts to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.
In response, Hezbollah announced it had initiated an attack on Israel using a \"large number of drones.\" This retaliation comes after the killing of Fouad Shukur, a top commander within the group, during a strike in Beirut's southern suburbs last month. The exchange of heavy fire between the two sides has stirred panic and uncertainty among residents.
A CGTN stringer spoke with residents of Tel Aviv, capturing the heightened anxiety and the impact of the escalating tensions on daily life. As both sides continue their military actions, the international community watches closely, hoping to prevent the situation from spiraling into a larger conflict.
