Israel Strikes Lebanon Amid Renewed Rocket Fire Tensions

Hezbollah has denied any involvement in recent rocket launches from southern Lebanon, asserting its commitment to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that ended a prolonged conflict with Israel. This denial follows Israeli artillery and airstrikes in response to intercepted rockets allegedly fired from Lebanese territory, raising concerns over the stability of the fragile truce. The Israeli military reported intercepting multiple rockets launched from a district in Lebanon, leading to retaliatory strikes on Hezbollah targets, which resulted in casualties among the Lebanese population. Israeli officials have indicated that the Lebanese government bears responsibility for any such attacks from its territory. As tensions escalate, Lebanon's Prime Minister has warned of the potential for a new war, highlighting the precarious nature of the current peace. The renewed hostilities reflect broader regional tensions exacerbated by ongoing conflicts involving Hamas and Israel.
