Israeli Strike in Lebanon Kills 8 as Hezbollah Fires 100 Rockets at Northern Israel

An Israeli military attack in Lebanon killed eight people, prompting Hezbollah to launch approximately 100 rockets at northern Israel on Wednesday evening, according to Israeli army estimates. The exchange represents a significant escalation in cross-border violence between the Israeli military and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group that controls much of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has been engaged in regular cross-border attacks with Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October, transforming the Lebanon-Israel border into an active front that has displaced tens of thousands of civilians on both sides.
