Iran-backed Hezbollah reportedly launched anti-aircraft missiles targeting Israeli jets amidst escalating clashes. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the missiles were fired at jets flying over southern Lebanon. This marks the first instance of Hezbollah using anti-aircraft missiles against Israeli jets since October 7. Despite the launch, the Israeli military emphasized that the aircraft were not seriously threatened. Israel claimed to have neutralized the “terrorist squad” responsible for the missile launches. These developments occur amid renewed calls for de-escalation between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
