Recent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have intensified following Hamas' attacks on Israel in October. The conflict has raised concerns about a potential broader regional conflict in the Middle East.
Both sides have engaged in tit-for-tat rocket strikes, targeting deeper into each other's territories. Tensions escalated when Israel targeted and killed two high-ranking Hezbollah commanders in June, leading to retaliatory missile attacks by Hezbollah.
After a strike on a soccer field, Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanese territory and along the border. While Israel's response did not escalate into all-out war, the situation remains highly volatile.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an emergency security cabinet meeting to discuss a response to Hezbollah's actions. Israeli officials have accused Hezbollah of the strike and vowed retaliation, while the Lebanese militant group denies involvement.
The ongoing conflict underscores the fragile situation in the region, with fears of a broader escalation looming. International observers are closely monitoring the situation as tensions continue to rise between Israel and Hezbollah.
