Escalating Conflict Between Israel and Hezbollah

Israel faces escalating conflict with Hezbollah as the Lebanese militia launched its first ballistic missile at Tel Aviv, prompting mass sheltering among residents. The missile, intercepted by Israeli defenses, marked a significant increase in threat level compared to previous skirmishes with Hamas. Concurrently, Israel has intensified its airstrikes in southern Lebanon, resulting in over 558 deaths and 1,835 injuries, with many civilians fleeing the region. Hezbollah, claiming to have new capabilities, has responded with missile volleys targeting Israeli military bases, leading to a cycle of violence unprecedented since the end of Lebanon's civil war. Residents in both Israel and Lebanon express fear and uncertainty about the future, with calls for a diplomatic resolution amid rising tensions. The situation remains volatile, with both sides prepared for further confrontations.
