Video: Israeli missile hits Lebanese journalist's home during live interview
An Israeli missile struck the home of Fadi Boudaya, a Lebanese journalist and editor-in-chief of Miraya International Network, during a live television interview. In the video, Boudaya is seen losing his balance and being thrown off-screen as the missile hits his home mid-sentence. Boudaya, who is reportedly sympathetic toward Hezbollah, later reassured his followers through a social media post.
Boudaya's post-attack message and escalating Israel-Hezbollah tensions
"Thank you to everyone who called, texted, checked in and to everyone who felt any emotion..Thank God, I am fine...and we return to continue our media duty in support of the resistance," he wrote. This incident comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group. Since the Gaza war erupted last October, both sides have been involved in intense cross-border conflict with recent hostilities reaching new heights.

Cyber attack on Hezbollah and Israeli airstrikes
The situation between Israel and Hezbollah deteriorated following a cyber attack on Hezbollah members' communication devices, which the militant group claimed Israel orchestrated. On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes in Beirut resulted in the death of Ibrahim Qubaisi, the head of Hezbollah's missile division. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Qubaisi's death, stating he was a key figure in Hezbollah's missile operations. Alongside Qubaisi, at least two other high-ranking commanders were reportedly killed.
