Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalates with ground operations in Lebanon and cross-border attacks

The Israel-Hezbollah conflict has intensified with Israel launching a significant ground operation in southern Lebanon, reoccupying areas it held before a 2024 ceasefire. In response, Hezbollah and its allies have carried out attacks on Israel, targeting military bases, settlements, and even an Israeli warship in the Mediterranean with drones and rockets. This escalation represents a major deterioration in regional security along the Israel-Lebanon border.
