Hezbollah Launches Major Rocket Barrage on Israel Amid Escalating Tensions

Hezbollah launched around 250 rockets into Israel, injuring seven people, in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that killed at least 29 people. 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 affected negotiations for a hostage release deal in Gaza, with setbacks including the firing of Israel's Defense Minister and Qatar's suspension of mediation.
