In brief
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah intensified over the weekend as Israeli jets bombed several targets across Lebanon. At least a dozen Lebanese were killed in the past 24 hours, and continued cross-border rocket fire has kept communities on edge. Israel reports hitting 200 Hezbollah targets after persistent rocket fire from the group. Hezbollah retaliated by attacking northern Israel, while Israeli forces in southern Lebanon were accused of firing on U.N. peacekeepers. The mission, known as UNIFIL, has faced calls to withdraw, amid international concern for their safety. Israel's focus on Hezbollah’s leaders has not yet ceased ongoing hostilities. This conflict mirrors previous invasions; however, the current fatalities include both troops and civilians, highlighting the grave nature of this regional crisis.
