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.
