Hezbollah launches rockets at Israel in response to overnight airstrikes

Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets into northern Israel in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, leading to increased tensions and fears of a full-scale war. The IDF targeted Hezbollah terrorists, killing a top commander, Ibrahim Akil. Hezbollah’s deputy leader warned of more attacks, while Israel vowed to restore security. Israeli forces struck hundreds of militant sites in Lebanon to thwart further attacks. The fighting has intensified, with concerns about strain on resources and efforts for a cease-fire deal. President Biden expressed concern about rising tensions and efforts to prevent a wider war. Hamas still holds captives from a previous attack, and Iran-backed groups claimed a drone attack on Israel.
