Tensions rise as Israel and Hezbollah engage in missile attacks

Hezbollah fired two surface-to-air missiles at an Israeli aircraft, but it was not hit. The attack came as Hezbollah launched other attacks on Israel, and the threat from the group continues to grow. Israel's Chief of Staff, Herzi HaLevi, stated that Israel will not return to the situation before the Hamas attack in October and emphasized the need to remove the Hezbollah threat from the border. Israel has evacuated thousands of residents from communities near the Lebanese border. The IDF has been engaged in operations in Gaza, where they have taken control of areas and dismantled Hamas' capabilities.
