Lebanon's government has banned military activities by Hezbollah after it fired on Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iran's supreme leader.
Israel responded with airstrikes on Hezbollah-controlled areas in Beirut and Lebanon, killing 31 people, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
The U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran, prompting retaliatory strikes across the region.
Hezbollah said its attack was to avenge the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while Israel declared Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem a target for elimination.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam announced the prohibition of Hezbollah's security and military activities, requiring the group to hand over its weapons to the state.
