Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill 31 and wound 149 people, while N12 reports missile fire towards Israel is expected to decline in the next 48 hours due to Israel's expansion of attacks on Iranian regime sites

The recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon, resulting in significant casualties, may escalate tensions in the region but also indicate a potential short-term reduction in missile activity toward Israel. This duality could influence market sentiment, particularly in energy and safe-haven assets like gold, as traders assess the implications for geopolitical stability and supply risks in the region.
