“The Israeli military launched what it called ‘preemptive’ strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, as the Iran-backed militant group said it carried out its own attacks in response to the killing of a top commander. The overnight strikes are some of the most serious yet between Israel and Hezbollah, who have been exchanging fire for months. The hostilities have raised the specter of a regional conflagration, prompting intense diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said about 100 of its fighter jets ‘struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels’ across dozens of launch sites from Lebanon on Sunday. It followed these up with further attacks later in the day. … Soon after the Israeli raids, the IDF said approximately 200 rockets had been launched from Lebanon towards Israel early Sunday, with no reports of injuries so far.” (08/25/24)
