Lebanon's Hezbollah launched a significant rocket attack into northern Israel on Wednesday in response to the killing of a top commander, escalating tensions in the region. The attack coincided with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to push for a cease-fire proposal in Gaza, which has not been fully embraced by Israel or Hamas.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran and allied with Hamas, has been engaged in daily exchanges of fire with Israel since the 8-month-long conflict began. The group insists on a truce in Gaza as a condition to cease hostilities, raising concerns of a broader regional conflict.
