Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut and Gaza Strip resulting in major destructions on Friday. Hezbollah in response launched around 100 rockets into northern Israel leading to an escalation in Middle East conflicts.

The crossing into Syria was being used by thousands to flee, but the Israeli military says Hezbollah were transporting weapons along it.

Israel has claimed to have targeted Hezbollah ’s intelligence headquarters in Beirut as it carries out strikes against the militant group’s leadership – with Iran ’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowing that Tehran and its proxies will not back down.
