Hezbollah launched rockets at Israeli targets just hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s arrival in Israel to push for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict. Despite diplomatic efforts, the violence between Hezbollah and Israel continues, with recent clashes escalating tensions.
Lebanon reported casualties from Israeli strikes, prompting Hezbollah to retaliate by targeting Israeli bases near Tel Aviv and Haifa. Blinken, in his 11th visit since the Gaza war started, will discuss the situation with Israeli officials and address potential retaliations against Iran for recent missile attacks.
The region is on edge as the threat of wider war looms. Iran has condemned Israeli threats against its nuclear sites, emphasizing the need for de-escalation. Blinken’s focus on post-conflict planning underscores the importance of preparing for peace amid ongoing hostilities.
