(260306) -- KIRYAT SHMONA, March 6, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Smoke rises from an explosion following Israeli bombardment on a southern Lebanese village, as seen from the Israeli side of the border with Lebanon, March 6, 2026. Hezbollah on Monday fired missiles and drones toward Israel, saying the attacks were in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a joint U.S.-Israeli strike and for repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Israel responded with massive airstrikes on Hezbollah targets and deployed ground forces into southern Lebanon, marking a sharp escalation in the conflict. (JINI via Xinhua)
