Hezbollah and Israel Exchange Fire in Major Border Conflict Escalation Following Assassination of Senior Hezbollah Commander

Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel early on Sunday, prompting Israel's military to respond with jet strikes on Lebanon. This marked one of the most significant escalations in the ongoing border conflict between the two sides, with visible missile trails and explosions. Both sides reported casualties. The U.S. bolstered its military presence in the region, and international leaders called for a cessation of hostilities. The exchange follows rising tensions after a recent missile strike and the assassination of a senior Hezbollah commander.
