Caption: Fear Spreads in Lebanon Amid Escalating Border Clashes and Intensifying Hezbollah-Israel Confrontation. Hezbollah’s deputy leader Naim Qassem declared the group has entered a "new phase" in its conflict with Israel as thousands gathered in Beirut for the funeral of top commander Ibrahim Aqil, who was killed in Friday’s Israeli airstrikes. Aqil, a founding member of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, was mourned by sobbing women and Hezbollah fighters, who chanted for revenge. Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s second-in-command, vowed to intensify rocket attacks on northern Israel until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza. Addressing the crowd, Qassem said Hezbollah has launched an "open-ended battle of reckoning” with Israel, promising even stronger retaliation.
