Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, in his first televised address since hostilities began, called Israel’s strikes on Lebanon a “prepared aggression” and demanded a withdrawal from southern Lebanon. “We will not surrender no matter the sacrifices,” he said.⁣

Hezbollah launched drones and rockets at Israel on March 2, saying it was avenging the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.⁣
⁣
Israeli military spokesperson Effie Defrin said Israel struck more than 250 Hezbollah targets across Lebanon within 48 hours.⁣
