Israel and Hezbollah traded cross-border fire, raising concerns of a broader conflict. Following an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon that killed a Hezbollah operative, the group retaliated with rocket attacks on northern Israel. In response, Israeli forces struck Hezbollah sites and intercepted aerial threats. The violence has displaced thousands, prompting calls for urgent de-escalation from U.S. and U.N. officials. The conflict adds to regional instability, with fears that the ongoing Israel-Hamas war could spill over into Lebanon. Both sides warn of further escalation, intensifying the already tense situation.
