Israel rocked by Hezbollah ambush, Iran's 'cluster bomb' strikes Tel Aviv; Netanyahu under pressure
•Two Israeli soldiers killed in a Hezbollah ambush in southern Lebanon, marking the first major ground blow since intensified Israeli airstrikes.
•Hezbollah attacked an Israeli 'Puma' APC retrieval operation near Manara, hitting a bulldozer with an anti-tank missile, killing Sergeant First Class Maher Khatar and another soldier.
•Iran launched ballistic missiles, possibly with 'cluster bomb' warheads, bypassing Israel's defense and causing widespread devastation in Tel Aviv and central Israel.
•Missiles fell in over a dozen locations, injuring many with debris and shrapnel, including one critically in Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva.
•The attacks challenge Netanyahu's government, as Iran's allies adopt new 'ambush' and 'multi-directional' missile strategies, increasing political and military pressure.
