Hezbollah has escalated tensions with Israel by launching a major drone and rocket attack on multiple Israeli military bases. This attack, the largest since October 8, was in retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander in a recent Israeli air raid.
Using 150 rockets and 30 drones, Hezbollah targeted 15 Israeli positions, resulting in injuries and fires. The operation was also a show of support for Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
Hezbollah’s actions have led to near-constant rocket sirens in northern Israel, with both sides exchanging fire. Despite the violence, it has mostly been contained to the border region.
Hezbollah’s leader has stated they are prepared for war if Israel escalates its attacks. Israeli officials have vowed to push back against Hezbollah’s actions to restore security along the border.
This dangerous escalation highlights the complex geopolitical landscape in the region, with Hezbollah aiming to strengthen its position while warning against further aggression from Israel.
