Monday Briefing: Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Major Attacks
Briefly

Israel's military launched one of the largest airstrikes against Hezbollah, with about 100 fighter jets attacking over 270 targets, asserting it was a necessary pre-emptive measure.
Hezbollah countered with a barrage of over 320 rockets aimed at nearly a dozen Israeli military positions, claiming this was retaliation for the recent killing of senior commander Fuad Shukr.
Despite the fierce exchanges, both Israel and Hezbollah suggested that they do not wish to further escalate the conflict at this time, hinting at a cautious stalemate.
