Escalation in the Middle East: Hezbollah and Israel Exchange Fire

In a significant escalation of violence, Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets into northern Israel, resulting in multiple casualties and widespread damage. The Israeli military reported that the rockets, along with several drones, targeted various locations, including a drone aimed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s holiday home.
