The Lebanese Hezbollah group said it fired dozens of rockets at an Israeli border town on Wednesday, while sources in Lebanon reported that Israel launched intensive air strikes on a Lebanese border town following the escalation of violence over the past few days.
It is the worst hostilities between Israel and Iran-aligned Hezbollah in nearly two decades since the outbreak of war in Gaza last October, raising fears of the risk of a broader and more destructive conflict between the two heavily armed rivals.
