The death toll from Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon has risen to 16, including militants and paramedics, as reported by Lebanese state media and militant organizations. In retaliation, Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets into northern Israel, resulting in the death of one individual. International mediators are working to prevent a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah amidst escalating violence along the Lebanon-Israel border.
Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel since October 8, following a Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel that sparked conflict in Gaza. The toll in Gaza stands at over 32,000 dead and 74,000 wounded, with a significant number being women and children.
