Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets After Rocket Fire From Lebanon

The exchange marks the most significant escalation since the November 2024 ceasefire, with both sides trading accusations and international actors urging restraint.

Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah positions, including rocket launchers and a command center, in response to rockets fired into northern Israel.
Hezbollah denied responsibility for the rocket attacks, maintaining its commitment to the ceasefire agreement brokered in November 2024.
Lebanon's health ministry reported at least two fatalities, including a child, and eight injuries from the Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon.
Israeli officials stated that Lebanon bears responsibility for attacks originating from its territory, while Lebanon's Prime Minister called for stabilizing the border to avoid a new war.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon expressed alarm over the escalation and urged all parties to prevent further destabilization in the region.
