Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants clashed in southern Lebanon, marking their first direct ground confrontations during the ongoing Israel-Gaza war. Israel and the U.S. vowed consequences for Iran after it fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, which Tehran claimed was retribution for the killings of top Hamas and Hezbollah officials. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned Iran of severe repercussions. The conflict, sparked by a Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, has led to significant regional displacement and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with Israel facing international pressure to allow more aid.
