Israel strikes southern Lebanon amid calls for halt to endless war'
Briefly

Israeli military forces have conducted artillery and airstrikes in southern Lebanon, a significant escalation that threatens the fragile truce concluded in November after a prolonged conflict with Hezbollah. Following the firing of three rockets from Lebanon into Israel, which were intercepted, Israel's defense minister declared a potential severe response. This renewed violence comes after a ceasefire that had ended over a year of fighting, which claimed thousands of lives and displaced many. Despite the truce, Israel has previously executed hundreds of airstrikes on Lebanese territory, asserting its right to counter any violations.
