Israeli forces warned residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate immediately, as Hezbollah and Israel escalated attacks against each other. The message, which urged residents to “save your lives,” covered the dense neighborhood of Dahiyeh, where Hezbollah holds sway. As the assault entered a sixth day and the wider region grappled with conflicts emerging on multiple fronts, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the United States would “bitterly regret” its strike on an Iranian frigate in the Indian Ocean. Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates reported fresh attacks, as Iran said it launched retaliatory strikes throughout the region, including against Kurdish forces in Iraq. Iran denied firing a missile toward Turkey, a day after Turkey said NATO air defenses shot down an Iranian ballistic missile heading toward its airspace. Targeting Turkey, a NATO member, would mark a major escalation in the conflict.
