Article Summary

The article reports on increased Israeli military operations in Lebanon, including airstrikes that killed 12 people, as Prime Minister Netanyahu frames the actions as necessary to protect northern Israeli communities. It highlights exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israel targeting sites it says are used by the militant group, while Hezbollah launches drone and rocket attacks in response. Civilians in Lebanon are affected, including in the village of Mashghara, but the article doesn't clarify whether those killed there were civilians or militants.
