Hezbollah and Israel Edge Closer to All-Out War

Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets into northern Israel, in retaliation to Israeli strikes on Lebanon, leading to significant destruction and casualties on both sides. As tensions escalate, both parties exchange threats, with Hezbollah declaring an 'open-ended battle' while Israel vows to restore security. The situation threatens to devolve into full-scale war.

Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets into northern Israel early Sunday, some landing near Haifa, as Israel countered with strikes on Lebanon. A Hezbollah leader announced an 'open-ended battle' amid escalating conflict.

The rocket assault followed deadly Israeli attacks in Lebanon, killing dozens, including a Hezbollah commander. Air raid sirens in northern Israel forced residents into shelters, with rockets hitting a residential building in Kiryat Bialik, wounding at least three people.

Lebanon's Health Ministry reported casualties from Israeli strikes near the border. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to take necessary actions to ensure northern Israel's security.
