Israel bombarded Lebanon on Monday following rocket fire from Hezbollah, several American warplanes crashed in Kuwait and Iran lashed out against the region with missiles, as the war with Israel and the United States expanded. Lebanon was dragged into the Middle East war after militant movement Hezbollah fired rockets towards Israel in support of its backer Iran and to avenge Khamenei’s killing. Explosions rocked Beirut while in southern Lebanon residents fled, according to AFP journalists, after the Israeli military announced it was striking both parts of the country. Israel and the United States attacked Iran weeks after authorities crushed mass protests, killing thousands according to rights groups. World leaders have given a mixed reaction to the war, which began two days after Iran and the United States held talks on Tehran’s nuclear program.
