Hezbollah Launches Intense Rocket Barrage into Israel

Hezbollah launched around 250 rockets into Israel, injuring seven people, in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that killed 29 and wounded 67. The conflict, which has escalated into an all-out war, has resulted in significant casualties and displacement on both sides. Efforts for a ceasefire continue, with the EU urging pressure on both parties to reach an agreement. The ongoing violence has also stalled negotiations for a hostage release deal in Gaza, with the Palestinian death toll exceeding 44,000.
