Smoke filled the skies near Israel's northern border Sunday as clashes with Lebanon's Hezbollah reached a dangerous new level, with hundreds of missiles and drones launched by the group triggering Israeli retaliatory rocket strikes 🚀.
What Happened?
Hezbollah's early-morning barrage targeted Israeli military sites, marking one of its largest attacks since October 2023. Israel responded with 'dozens of rockets' into southern Lebanon, turning the already volatile area into a de facto military zone 🎯. Civilians have been evacuated from both sides of the border.
Why It Matters
The escalation comes amid growing fears of a regional war 🔥, with global leaders urging restraint. Analysts say the strikes reflect Hezbollah's attempt to pressure Israel during ongoing Gaza negotiations—a high-stakes gamble that risks spiraling beyond control.
What's Next?
With the border now a ghost town 🏚️, observers warn of potential miscalculations. The UN has called for 'immediate de-escalation,' while residents in Haifa and Beirut brace for possible further strikes. We'll keep you updated as this develops.
