According to the Israeli Air Force, a "senior terrorist" from Hezbollah was taken out in airstrikes overnight.

President Trump has made it very clear that Iran cannot get nuclear weapons, while Israel has said that after October 7, such terror will never happen again. This is what it looks like when nations enforce their red lines instead of just talking.
