Israel thwarts Hezbollah’s most distant attack during 11 months of ongoing conflicts

Hezbollah launched multiple rockets into Israel, including one that reached Tel Aviv, setting off air raid sirens. Israel intercepted the projectile, and no casualties were reported. In response, Israel targeted Hezbollah sites and launched a bombing campaign, killing a top commander. The conflict has displaced thousands in southern Lebanon, with many seeking refuge in Beirut and Sidon, while others are trying to leave the country amid fears of escalating violence. Lebanon has reported over 560 deaths and thousands wounded in Israeli strikes since Monday. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have been escalating over the past 11 months, with Hezbollah firing rockets in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and Israel responding with airstrikes. The United Nations Security Council has scheduled an emergency meeting to address the situation in Lebanon. Israel aims to keep its operations in Lebanon short but is prepared for a longer conflict if necessary. The toll on civilians in Lebanon, already reeling from a recent deadly attack, has been devastating. Israel has not confirmed or denied responsibility for the earlier attack.
