Following a deadly Israeli airstrike in northern Lebanon, Hezbollah's acting leader, Naim Kassem, declared intentions to target more areas in Israel with rockets. The strike, which occurred far from Hezbollah's main stronghold, has escalated tensions in the region.
Hezbollah has been actively involved in supporting Hamas in Gaza, firing an estimated 13,000 rockets into Israel over the past year. This has led to tens of thousands of Israelis being displaced from their homes, prompting Israel to intensify its efforts to stop the attacks.
