The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon escalated once again today with new attacks by Israeli forces and retaliatory rocket launches from Hezbollah. The violence comes in the wake of the assassination of a senior Hamas commander, which has heightened tensions in the region.
According to Channel 26, Israeli forces targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon following the launch of sixty rockets into Israel. The Associated Press reports that the rocket launches were in response to the assassination of the Hamas commander, further fueling the conflict between Israel and its adversaries.
In a live statement reported by EL PAÍS, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, “The war must not stop until we achieve all our objectives,” indicating that Israel does not plan to back down any time soon.
The situation has prompted concerns of a wider war in the region, with Infobae America reporting that Israel’s retaliation has raised fears of an escalation in violence between the two sides.
