Hezbollah launched rockets and drones against Israel as retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander in Beirut. Israeli jets hit targets in Lebanon prior to the strikes as Hezbollah prepared for the attack. Hezbollah claimed to have launched over 320 Katyusha rockets, hitting 11 military targets. The clash between Israel and Hezbollah has raised concerns of a wider regional conflict involving the US and Iran. Negotiators were meeting in Cairo to halt the fighting in Gaza and secure the release of hostages.
