Israel and Hezbollah have de-escalated from the brink of wider conflict following intense exchanges. Israel’s preemptive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Sunday were aimed at thwarting planned attacks. In response, Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones, killing three Lebanese fighters. Despite claims of retaliation and preemption from both sides, the region appears to have avoided a full-scale war, with both Israel and Hezbollah declaring partial victories. Diplomatic efforts continue in Cairo, focusing on a ceasefire deal amidst ongoing tensions and the threat of further Iranian retaliation.
