US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has emphasized the importance of a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, following a recent escalation of violence in Beirut.
Blinken stated that the exchange of rockets and missiles between the two sides highlights the urgent need for a cessation of hostilities. He pointed out that while Israel has been targeting Hezbollah in Beirut, the militant group has been launching projectiles into northern Israel on a daily basis since October 7.
