In a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Israel has fired dozens of rockets into southern Lebanon. This response follows Hezbollah's launch of hundreds of missiles and drones targeting Israeli military positions early Sunday morning.
The exchange marks a worrying intensification of hostilities that heightens fears of a broader conflict in the region. Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli military announced it conducted \"preemptive\" airstrikes in southern Lebanon after intelligence indicated Hezbollah was ramping up preparations to attack northern Israel.
This latest development underscores the fragile stability in the area, with both sides seemingly preparing for further engagements. The international community watches closely as the situation unfolds, hoping to prevent a full-scale war that would have far-reaching consequences for global security.
