Tehran

Intense aerial bombardment by Israeli armed forces against Hezbollah killed at least 492 people in Lebanon on Monday, including 35 children, according to authorities in the country, which experienced its bloodiest day in nearly a year of border firefights alongside the war in the Gaza Strip.

Iran's military has built a wall along more than 10 kilometers (6 miles) of its eastern border with Afghanistan, the main entry point for immigrants, local media reported on Monday.

The situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile and appears increasingly grim. In Western capitals, there is significant concern about a potential escalation of Israel’s conflict with the terrorist organizations Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iranian involvement cannot be dismissed either.

The Israeli military launched a new wave of attacks against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Thursday (Sept. 19), following two days of explosions involving devices that escalated tensions in the Middle East, raising fears of an all-out war within the international community.

Iran had planned the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and the director of Shin Bet, using an Israeli businessman, according to an announcement made today by the Israeli internal security agency.

According to Shin Bet, Iran’s efforts to kill one of the three targets intensified after the assassination of Haniya in Tehran.

Airlines from the Lufthansa and Air France groups have suspended flights to and from Israel for security reasons, as reported by DPA.

The United States has clarified that it was neither involved in nor aware of the series of pager explosions that occurred in Lebanon. Speaking during a press briefing, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized that the US was still collecting information about the incident.

Hundreds of Hezbollah members were injured on Tuesday afternoon in a suburb of Beirut and other locations in southern Lebanon after the explosion of their communication devices (bomb detectors).
