Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, has escalated its attacks along Israel's northern border in a move to demonstrate the potential cost of an all-out war, according to senior official Sheikh Ali Daamoush. The intensified attacks, including rocket launches, are a response to the killing of a senior commander and have put pressure on Israeli leaders amid ongoing conflict.
The recent cross-border attacks between Israel and Hezbollah have been a daily occurrence since the conflict in Gaza began in October. This escalation coincides with threats of all-out war from Israeli leaders and Hezbollah's efforts to support its Palestinian ally, Hamas, during cease-fire negotiations.
