Israeli strikes kill 12 in southern Lebanon; Hormuz traffic at lowest since May

Israeli overnight strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 12, per Lebanon's Health Ministry, continuing the established pattern of cross-border exchanges. Separately, Strait of Hormuz traffic has fallen to its lowest level since May, suggesting heightened maritime risk or rerouting. The strikes could escalate Hezbollah-Israel tensions, while the Hormuz decline signals potential energy supply disruption.
