Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Blows in Escalating Conflict

Israel launches airstrikes in Beirut as Hezbollah retaliates by sending drones across the border, reigniting tensions between the longtime adversaries.
The skies over Beirut were thick with smoke and the sound of explosions as Israel intensified its bombardment of the Lebanese capital. This latest escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group has raised fears of a broader regional conflagration.
The strikes came after Hezbollah, the powerful Shia militant group based in Lebanon, launched several armed drones into Israeli airspace in what it claimed was a response to recent Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Syria.
