Israel-Hezbollah Conflict Intensifies with Airstrikes and Missile Interceptions

Israel has escalated its airstrikes in Lebanon, responding to a missile fired by Hezbollah at the Mossad spy service near Tel Aviv. This has heightened the ongoing conflict, leading to increased casualties and mass displacement. Global leaders are calling for diplomacy as the situation worsens.

Israel expanded its airstrikes in Lebanon on Wednesday, shooting down a missile fired by Hezbollah at the Mossad spy service near Tel Aviv. The conflict has seen significant intensification, with Hezbollah targeting the Mossad headquarters using what it claimed to be a ballistic missile. Reuters could not independently verify the type of rocket.

Global leaders, expressing concern over the escalating parallel conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, reported rising death tolls and massive displacements. Israeli airstrikes are targeting Hezbollah leadership and various sites in Lebanon, while Hezbollah continues to launch rocket barrages into Israel.

Wednesday's attack marked the first sighting of a Hezbollah missile over Tel Aviv since the war started. Israel's military has entered a new phase of its campaign, preparing for more extensive actions. The intensification has displaced hundreds of thousands and overloaded hospitals as bombings peaked earlier this week.
