Hezbollah launches a barrage of rockets and drones from Lebanon towards Israel. The group says the attack is its retaliation for the assassination of one of its top commanders in Beirut last month.
Air defence systems in northern Israel fired at the incoming Hezbollah rockets. One Israeli soldier was killed after being hit by falling shrapnel.
Israel’s military also launched air raids across southern Lebanon, putting the region on the edge.
The escalation came as the Reuters news agency reported no sign of progress in mediated talks for a ceasefire in Gaza. Citing a Palestinian official, it said a Hamas delegation that was in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, has departed the city.
At least 40,334 people have been killed and 93,356 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7.
