**Israel Strikes Southern Lebanon Amid Escalating Conflict**
Israel has launched a fresh wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon, targeting top commanders of the Lebanese branch of Iran's Quds Force. This move comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at "many surprises" in the next phase of the ongoing Iran-US/Israel conflict.
The Israeli military claims it will not allow Iranian terrorist elements to set up base in Lebanese territory. This escalation follows a previous attack on an oil storage facility in Tehran, which was seen as a significant escalation of the conflict.
For those who may not be aware, the conflict between Israel and Iran has been ongoing for some time, with both countries engaging in a proxy war in the Middle East. The situation has now spread to Lebanon, a country with a long history of conflict with Israel.
In other developments, Kuwait has also been hit by missiles and drones, killing two border guards. The situation in the region is increasingly volatile, with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
The latest airstrikes in Lebanon have killed at least 12 people, including four in a hotel in Beirut. This brings the total number of deaths to at least 55 in the past two days. The situation is highly fluid, and we will continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.
It's worth noting that Nigeria has a significant number of Lebanese nationals living and working in the country. Many of them have been victims of xenophobic attacks in the past, and the current situation in Lebanon may be of concern to them.
