Hezbollah launched rockets and artillery attacks on Israel on Friday, resuming hostilities after a brief lull. The attacks came in retaliation for Israel’s recent airstrike that killed Hezbollah’s military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut. Hezbollah claimed to have forced an Israeli warplane to turn back and targeted military positions in northern Israel. Israel’s military intercepted an aerial target from Lebanon and retaliated with airstrikes in southern Lebanon, killing several Hezbollah fighters and Syrian migrant workers. The conflict, ongoing since October 2023, threatens to escalate further amid heightened tensions.
